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
