Carnival time in Trinidad
And everybody getting on bad
they dancing, they jumping, they francing, they pumping
Winning down, down on the ground
Waving round to de soca sound
Every one having a good time
Every body feeling so fine
Playing mas inside ah band
Cooling out or beating pan
 Cause it's time to jump, yuh jump with anyone
 Time to jump, jump and have yuh fun
 Time to jump and we having fun
 Woh time to jump, we jumping with everyone

On jou'vert morning
Nobody sleeping
Cause everybody is on de streets
Dey happy jumping to de different beats
We are one love, so we don't wanna fight
We are one love and we heart just tight
We didn't come to fuss and ting
We come to spread joy so we sing, "It's time to jump"
 Cause it's time to jump, yuh jump with anyone
 Time to jump, jump and have yuh fun
 Time to jump and we having fun
 Woh time to jump, we jumping with everyone

Friday till Tuesday same ting again
Don't matter what everyone are friends
People chipping woh up and down
From every countryside in every town
Everybody's happy and feeling fine
Dey cyah wait fro next carnival time
when it will be de nex

 Time to jump
 We jump with everyone
 Time to wine
 In de midday sun
 Time to jump
 We people having fun
 Time to wave
 Until we freedom come
 Woi yah yoi, get on!
 Cause it's time to jump, yuh jump with anyone
 Time to jump, jump and have yuh fun
 Time to jump and we having fun
 Woh time to jump, we jumping with everyone
 Time to jump
 We jump with everyone
 Time to wine
 In de midday sun
 Time to jump
 We people having fun
 Time to wave
 Until we freedom come
