A fantastic calypso released by King Radio, featuring the Lion and the Tiger:

WAR
King Radio

No, no, no, no, tell 'em I say no
My answer is 'no'
No, no, no, no, tell 'em I say no
My answer is 'no'
Lemme come with a grand preparation
No, no, no, no, no consolation
Grief and fame and solemn meditation
Tell them I say 'no'

From the first very day I start on the strum
I make pretend as ?grumble and moan
And when they heard my voice through the utmost fear
The talk was an angel from heaven appeared
Songsters tried for to hum for me
But I still get the opportunity
I didn't mean to call it, but I got the privilege
?As you know?

(King Radio)
This is my second anniversary,
but I were fortunately sent to New York City
I must thank the people of Porto-o-Spain
They have assist me in climbing the ladder of fame
'Ow I popularly know as a pugilist
But today I'm recognized a radio artist
And without no exaggeration, I achieved my ambition
As a calypsonian

Well, I pity men's conditions
when they have no ammunitions
as to fight with The Lion in an open competition
I am sitting, and waiting for the common celebration
As to fight...monarchs in war and rebellion
And for me, ah mean they would be blessed with benediction
Them against me, they shall suffer prosecution
For I'm Lord Eloquent in the House of Parliament

This is The Radio, The Lion, also Tiger
We known to be popular in America
It is a war and rebellion
ah mean, no, no, no, no, no consolation
Affected from corruption and bad association
The atmosphere flies with the vile contamination
War and rebellion in this global competition
Tell them I say 'no'
