In Barbados, in Barbados
This is the story of Julie and John,
Who were born and raised under the sun of Barbados
All over the world
Young lovers try to hide their secret
And why should Julie and John have been different?
But of course this couldn't work for long
And soon their little brothers and sisters
Called them Mister and Misses John
They started working night and day
To get ready a set of new steeldrums,
Which should be the wedding bells for Julie and John
And when that they finally arrived,
They guided them to the little chapel
Playing the Caribbean wedding bells
So they walk along,
In Barbados sun
And he takes its pride
For the wedding night
Yes so the story tells
Caribbean wedding bells
I can still remember what happened,
When the preacher started reading the psalm
Franky, Julies little brother, was hiding under the altar,
And when Julie discovered him, she couldn't help her
Burst with laughter and very soon the whole community was laughing,
Including the preacher,
People outside the chapel must have thought,
The ceremony was already over,
And so they started singing and dancing and came into the chapel,
And the boys were playing their steeldrums again.
I don't know,
Wether Julie and John ever really spoke the holy "yes, I will!"!
So they walk along,
In Barbados sun
And he takes its pride
For the wedding night
Yes so the story tells
Caribbean wedding bells
So they walk along,
In Barbados sun
And he takes its pride
For the wedding night
Yes so the story tells
Caribbean wedding bells
So they walk along,
In Barbados sun
And he takes its pride
For the wedding night...
