[00:00:17] Shouts of welcome were heard

[00:00:20] When roosevelt came to the land of the hummingbird

[00:00:24] Shouts of welcome were heard

[00:00:27] His visit to their island is bound to be

[00:00:31] An epoch in local history

[00:00:35] Definitely marking the new era

[00:00:39] Between Trinidad and America

[00:00:45] We understand that the president had just been

[00:01:05] Famous roosevelt smile

[00:01:08] In fact everybody was glad

[00:01:11] To welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad

[00:01:18] We were privileged to see the fraight democratic

[00:01:21] President of the great republic

[00:01:25] With his charm and his genial personality

[00:01:29] And his wonderful urbanity

[00:01:34] To stop war and atrocity

[00:01:36] The world safe for democracy

[00:01:40] The greatest event of the century

[00:01:43] In the interest of suffering humanity
