Barbados was represented on Comex 11 across Canada by Parro Mahabir of Bridgetown and Eugenia Weekes of St Michael. Other West Indian participants came from Manchester and London. The song was later incorporated into the musical Kenaki at the Theatre Royal Stratford East. The plan was for Barbados to give a lead by recording Do it in Style. In the event two recordings were made: one with Mary Abendroth accompanied by a West Indian steel band, and the other by the Heritage Singers in Zambia

The windmill is turning and the harvest is ripe,

Birds will be mating as spring bursts with life;

Flowers will be blooming and strangers will smile

If you wave as you're passing and do it in style,

Do it in style, do it in style,

If you wave as you’re passing and do it in style.

Depress-èd and weary and the pressures won’t stop;

The party is over and the curtain won’t drop;

It’s a struggle to finish yet another hard mile

But do it, my friend, and do it in style.

Do it in style, do it in style, do it, my friend, and do it in style

The rain keeps on raining and the sun will not shine

The beer’ s turned to bitter and you can’t afford wine

Progress is bewildered and is limping awhile;

The cure is to gamble and do it in style.

Do it in style, do it in style,

The cure is to gamble and do it in style.

The carts are in front and the horses behind;

Burnt up with aggression the world is unkind;

Two courses of action your senses beguile,

Choose the bolder with courage and do it in style.

Do it in style, do it in style,

Choose the bolder with courage and do it in style.

Hope springs eternal to the end of the ride

With your gloves in one hand and your hat on one side

Cock a snook at the pundits and do it in style.

Do it in style, do it in style,

Cock a snook at the pundits and do it in style!
