Well, how all yuh goin? I reach safe here in Port of Spain, and ah staying up de road in Mount Lambert (pron. LAMB - BUTT), just down de road from meh brudduh and meh sistah, an apparently, all de lesbians they put on dis beautiful island fuh me to meet. Ah happy fuh so! It making real hot, so I just had to go to de beach today. yeah, it was real obligation and responsibility!

First day I reach, I went straight to de auto rental and hire a car. De fella had a kine a mush mout when he talking, but he was nice nice fella. In front a we in de line was a black american woman de fella confide was a "mad, mad lady!" Well, she look so too. I rent this car, and why I do dis, I doh know why, but I offer mehself and meh cyaar to tek meh auntie and me cousin who a big soca artist (pron. ART-EES) to Point Fortin, quite in South, caw she ha some show in a club down dey she doin fuh borough day 25th anniversary.

So if you see we pack up in dis cyaar and you know I so so tired from de flight in the middle of night I just take, but we driving driving, past Sando, true rousillac, la brea (pron. LAH BRAY), and some town name start wit a v and end wit a y, til we get quite to point.

In de club now, the music pumpin so loud it look like de window bout to break. And den meh auntie, who style she self de daughter manager, go upstairs to check it out. she come back, say, It scanty. De place big, but it scanty. Bout ten fifteen people in the place.

You know we all tinkin, Oh god, you tell me we drive half de country for 15 people? but nobody sayin nuttin.

De fella from Chavonne video come, and de DJs from de radio station come and it start to feel like a real vip section out in de car park. Meh auntie tekking pictures and finally we go inside roun 1:45.

When we get in, we see de place scanty in truth. But what you gon do? We dey, we cyaan go nowhey.

But whey dese people come from? ask meh auntie. De place was so scanty!

Well, de song turn into a contest to see which man could bump he bumpsy as good as Chavonne. People callin frens to go up and bunks with she. De DJ go on. A fella name Gootie go on. A big fella name a Simon go on and put all a dey to shame.
