When Roosevelt came to the land of the hummingbird

Shouts of welcome were heard

Roosevelt came to the land of the hummingbird

Shouts of welcome were heard

His visit to their island is bound to be

An epoch in local history

Definitely marking the new era

Keeping Trinidad in America

For this great man jubilation

Was evinced by the entire population

Friendship for the U S A was shown

From his house to stars and the stripes were flown

For the state to open the gate

To the president of these United States

In fact everybody was glad

To welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad

We are privileged to see the democratic

President of the great republic

With his charming and genial personality

And his wonderful urbanity

We were struck by his modest style

And we were intrigued by the famous Roosevelt smile

No wonder why everybody was glad

To welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad

Now we understand that the president has just been

On a visit to Brazil and the Argentine

Mr Cordell Hull in attendance

They took part in a peace conference

To stop war and atrocity

And make the world safe for democracy

The greatest event in the century

In the interest of suffering humanity
