Happy days are coming back again Join with me an' sing this sweet refrain Tho government has got a five year plan That will relieve the depression No more starvation, emancipation is here Public works are being started right away So we have cause to be happy and gay These gigantic things they're going to do Will find work for me and you No more starvation, emancipation is here A mammoth engineering job has been executed I mean the harbor scheme that's just been completed Port-of-Spain will hold her place with ease The premier city in the West Indies No more starvation, emancipation is here Soon a marked improved change we all will see A happy tidal wave of prosperity We'll be able to maintain our family In comfort and an' in luxury No more starvation, emancipation is here
