fun song! my father is bajan, he gone with the lord now. takes me back to saturday mornings as a boy. he would play sparrow, jackie opel on the stereo playa while making fish cakes. great memories, great old school calypso. RIP king Browne!!
Fun fact: Lord Kitchener's father was Bajan. Stephen Roberts and his siblings moved to Trinidad where he married Albertha Smith and they had 6 children. Lord Kitchener was the last child. Find the Roberts in Barbados and you'll find Lord Kitchener's relatives.
Hello Quweina so your daddy is connected to Barbados?? Take Yuh Meat out me Rice indeed!! 😂 When I think of Barbados, I think of Hunte's Garden, Harrison Cave & Oistin's. I have a fun fact for you my dear- Barbados may well be on their way to Republic Status source: The NewYork Times. Trinidad get Republic Status in 1976. Guyana got in 1970. Dominica received Republic status 1978- so you can imagine how the Bajans will feel once they get that!!
Quwenia Roberts i love your father's music as did my late parents. As a child we lived in the UK and my dad met your father. My parents were true Trinbagonians i grew up hearing this kaiso and have loved all his music. I even knew his brother Errol from Point Fortin through my job. May he continue to RIP.
Lord Kitchener, I grew up hearing, in all places, Los Angeles! A number of Black Americans were listening to him, Sparrow and others from the Caribbean and not just American soul, or jazz. Afro-Cuban, highlife, and even Ska were heard at neighbors or home. Even today I still dig his calypso music and wish some 'r and b' radio would broaden its playlist to include more sounds from the African diaspora.
Imagine, my 25 year old was listening to this song and showed it to me saying that this was a dying tradition. He found this song so funny. So proud of him . Rest in Peace Lord Kitchener
I'm Romanian and I really dig it...I'm married to a Trinidadian but that's no excuse...I really like the man...and I hope you'll find out where Romania is on the map. 'nuff respect...a responsible citizen of the world...
Trinis are well learned people,in all my living memory I have known about the great Romania..it may be much harder to find T&T on the map. But we are all citizens of one World!! Blessings to you!! ;)
I am from Austria and I had to laugh when I just thought how much time I spend to decipher this or find the written lyrics for many good caylpso songs I know.
Thanks a million... we need to highlight our one CARIBBEAN CULTURAL MUSIC HERITAGE.. THANKS FOR THIS HISTORICAL TAKE...Makes us one Caribbean Peoples...One Love ❤️
Wow! I haven't heard about a song like that in all the 27 years of my life! So this is what old time calypso sounds like! No wonder Kicthener is a legend in calypso! Go Kitch!
🌦🇧🇧🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Blessings. I Am Lenage Of The Roberts Family Of Barbados 🇧🇧 🙏🏾 My Greatgran Father Was A Merchant Ship Seaman🙏🏾 I Had A Cousin Now Deceased LOOKED EVERYTHING LIKE LORD KITCHENER🙏🏾His Music Will LIVE ON🙏🏾🇧🇧
My 27 year old ass was played this by my trini grandparents when I was 3 or 4. I used to laugh ...and laugh and laughhh 😂. It's great to find this again.
One of my favorite Kitch chunes. Lord Kitchener was the calypso name of Trinidad native Aldwyn Roberts. Kitchener was also known as the Grandmaster of Calypso and the Road March King. The interweb can be helpful Bills to Pay is a challenge...only thing I came up with was a Destra tune -Negative Vibes- that had the line..."I done working so hard every day Plenty plenty bills ah have to pay" WACK FM has some knowledgeable DJs and do Wayback Wednesday on Thursday....no, no, no on Wednesday
The thing about this song and why Lord Kitchener is one of the greatest calypsonians is that he even does the Bajan accent during the Bajan verse. LMAOL!
There is another song by Kitch which accompanies this tune. The Trini get his revenge by getting the Bajan to eat Callaloo with Crapaud (Toad) which Baj thinks is crab.Please post if available. Thanks.
Anyone know that old calypso song where part of the song he talks about how he went into a store and took a bunch of tvs, dvds etc. Then when the cops arrest him and ask what he was doing, he said his grandmother told him the best things in life are free
Just discovered this gem. great rhythm and horn lines. Does anyone have the lyrics? I have little idea what it's about and can't understand half the words. EDIT ok I figured out the story - just quite a few of the words I don't understand

Great music and treasured memories of these singers grew up listening to them.
Just love this song..
Man I am a Bajan....I used to hear this song when I was little.
I found this track when a got an actual Jamaican copy of the RCA Jamaica LP, "Kitch '67" in stereo.
Proud of the Calypso icons of my country. Kitchener, you were truly exceptional
Fantastic Post My Fellow Trini, Cheers !!!

Great, great kaiso from the legend Lord Kitchener !! This is what kaiso is all about, he was truly one of the greats.
This is so funny...😂😂😂 He really sounds like a bajan.
Wonderful! Takes me back home!
Thank you for uploading this Classic Boss!!!!!!!!!!!
A master of the calypso and Kaiso art forms, the Trinidadian Lord Kitchener, born Aldwyn Roberts (1922 - 2000).
I'm still enjoying those songs
One of my favorite Kitch chunes.
Lord Kitchener was the calypso name of Trinidad native Aldwyn Roberts. Kitchener was also known as the Grandmaster of Calypso and the Road March King.

Bills to Pay is a challenge...only thing I came up with was a Destra tune -Negative Vibes- that had the line..."I done working so hard every day
Plenty plenty bills ah have to pay"
WACK FM has some knowledgeable DJs and do Wayback Wednesday on Thursday....no, no, no on Wednesday
The words and phrases in the song are certainly Bajan (Barbadian) ..very cleverly written song by Lord Kitchener.....was here in 2020 November
This is the real deal! Not the crap that they have out these days.
Yes classic
Nicky Farrell I agree. The subject matter sucks in today's music. It lack artistic expression. It's why I'm here now.
Listen and learn youths... A classic. Thank you Shapelander.
we got a "Bajan" at work....and he talks exactly like that, lol.......
RIP Lord Kitchener ,this was music grew up listening to this song and it still makes me laugh with his words of two countries the best ever.
From the RCA Victor Jamaica LP, "Kitch, '67", released in mono and stereo in 1967 - Jamaica, W.I.
hahha you cannot beat Lord Kitchener,man was a clear genius.
such a wonderful tune.
lol
lulu xxx
Love how it stared of as a 12 cent meat bone and gradually end up as a 8 cent meat bone. lol
That's the irony
"meat ball", I hear. and the value does go down, bit by bit. The Barbadian and the Trinidadian. Ha!
I finally understood it after all these years..😃

Hace 5 años
Ame cómo comenzó como un hueso de carne de 12 centavos y gradualmente termine como un hueso de carne de 8 centavos. jajaja
Because he is a liar. Lies always change.😃
LMFAO!! Tek u meat outta mi rice!! Caribbean represent to the world!!!!
Haven't heard this song in ages, thanks for the up.
I love Kitchener from since I was a child, way past my time, but that’s ok, love his music.
This has to be my favorite calypso tune.
Man, you cant keep still to dis!
his imitation of the bajan accent is hilarious lol trinis
this really reminds me of being with my dad and grandfather on the beach in T&T
Great Caiso song, just great and wonderful
We didn't have a radio so my mother would sing all these songs for us when we were children
lord kitch..... a true legand
The thing about this song and why Lord Kitchener is one of the greatest calypsonians is that he even does the Bajan accent during the Bajan verse. LMAOL!
still listening July 2019...….chesse on bread...
Yeah, he does seem to have an Irish tinge! ha ha ha ha ha....the funniest song I have heard in a while
I'm a haitian in i'm in so love With that song
As fan of Calypso, and a Vegan, I interpret this song very differently, but the end result is still the same. Take your meat out me rice...
A BlakeHall same here
REALLY Take my Meat out ur Rice OMG!!!!!!
Your starving without meat lol
lololololo
thank u too! he was the greatest!!!
Nice Chune..... Good Memories...
LOVE this song
Baddest ting
Good memories of a true artist.
Used to hear this when I was a little girl in Barbados. Still funny!
My grandmother and grandfather were Bajans they were my father's parents I never knew them,all my family and relatives are Trinidadians.
You neither understand the music nor the people. Sometimes, it is wise to not let one's ignorance overcome oneself and listen and learn.
when i first heard this i thought it was a bajan singing. great song man. still can't stop laughing.
It's 3 aM, and I"m dead with laugh.....He has the Bajan accent done...
Sweet!!!!
THANK YOU
Listening in 2020
There is another song by Kitch which accompanies this tune. The Trini get his revenge by getting the Bajan to eat Callaloo with Crapaud (Toad) which Baj thinks is crab.Please post if available. Thanks.
Who is listening to this in 2024!!
Anyone know that old calypso song where part of the song he talks about how he went into a store and took a bunch of tvs, dvds etc. Then when the cops arrest him and ask what he was doing, he said his grandmother told him the best things in life are free
