Labor Day I felt happy because I played Carnival in New York City Labor Day I felt happy because I played Carnival in New York City Seventh Avenue was jumpin' Everybody was shakin' Singing Jump in the line and shake up your body line I tell you roll it like twine Jump in the line and shake up your body line From 110 to 142nd We had bands of all description I am not only speaking of West Indians Ninety percent was American They love the Carnival And that is why they join the bacchanal They sang Jump in the line and shake up your body line I tell you roll it like twine Jump in the line and shake up your body line Macbeth the great and Houdini They all joined the festivities Also the Duke of Iron He too was leading a band Nobody could tie me Was to see me w ith my old lady Jump in the line and shake up your body line I tell you roll it like twine Jump in the line and shake up your body line New Orleans have this same festival Annually they play Carnival This is the first time New York ever had Carnival on the streets like Trinidad What's to see in show row Queen Calypso and Lord Invader Singing Jump in the line and shake up your body line I tell you roll it like twine Jump in the line and shake up your body line
