| They say that I reign too long |
| Forgetting that my constitution is strong |
| Instead of respecting my long long reign |
| They making plot to take down my name |
| I’ve been breaking down walls |
| Ever since I was small |
| They could stand up tall and strong |
| Like a wrecking ball I go knock them down |
| They say that I reign too long |
| Forgetting that my constitution is strong |
| Instead of respecting my long long reign |
| They making plot to take down my name |
| Everywhere I reign supreme |
| The one and only calypso queen |
| No man alive or dead |
| Could come and take the crown of my head |
| Them foolish and petty men |
| I don’t worry 'bout them |
| They’ve been trying to take me down |
| But to the end I retain my crown |
| They say that I reign too long |
| Forgetting that my constitution is strong |
| Instead of respecting my long long reign |
| They making plot to take down my name |
| They used to call me small island girl |
| Now I travel the world |
| Everywhere the go they know |
| I am calypso rose queen of calypso |
| I am the daughter of the warrior |
| No time to rest or retire |
| Others have come and gone |
| But calypso rose is still singing on |
| They say that I reign too long |
| Forgetting that my constitution is strong |
| Instead of respecting my long long reign |
| They making plot to take down my name |
