Jamaica with her salt fish and ackee,
Trinidad boasts her roti sweet,
Barbados comes with flying fish and cou cou,
Tobago with shark and crab meat.
The windwards with bananas and citrus,
And pepper pot to make you think,
And each island's coconut water,
Does wonders for all, at a wink.
Come for goat water in St. Kitts,
To Nevis or Montserrat as well,
Crab and dumplings in Waddadli,
Can send you on one eating spell.
Jamaica's jerk pork or jerk chicken,
Nevis pelau or roast corn on the cob,
And our amazing creole tasties,
You can't afford, your stomach to rob.
I go for ducunah and saltfish,
In Antigua for it smell's all around,
The tempting Dominica's mountain chicken,
Is so strong as it waters the mouth.
Get me pepper pot, oildung or some cook up;
For a Caribbean mood any day,
And surely to eat Caribbean,
Is to savor dainties as you may.
Sample some Nevis' sassaparilla,
And pep up your sagging wits;
Try local drinks of each island,
And feel all their verve in a nick.
Then check out some salt fish and dumplings,
Greens and peas, rice and chick as you like,
And whenever you eat Caribbean,
There has to be something that strikes.

WHAT CAN I EAT?
Jamaica with her salt fish and ackee,
Trinidad boasts her roti sweet,
Barbados comes with flying fish and cou cou,
Tobago with shark and crab meat.

And pepper pot to make you think,
And each island's coconut water,
Does wonders for all, at a wink.
Come for goat water in St. Kitts,
