If you ever go down Trinidad |
[00:14] |
They make you feel so very glad |
[00:17] |
Calypso sing and make up rhyme |
[00:20] |
Guarantee you one real good fine time |
[00:23] |
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola |
[00:26] |
Go down Point Koomahnah |
[00:29] |
Both mother and daughter |
[00:33] |
Workin' for the Yankee dollar |
[00:37] |
Oh, beat it man, beat it |
[00:41] |
Since the Yankee come to Trinidad |
[00:44] |
They got the young girls all goin' mad |
[00:47] |
Young girls say they treat 'em nice |
[00:50] |
Make Trinidad like paradise |

From Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle |
[01:15] |
Native girls all dance and smile |
[01:19] |
Help soldier celebrate his leave |

It's a fact, man, it's a fact |
[01:44] |
In old Trinidad, I also fear |
[01:48] |
The situation is mighty queer |
[01:50] |
Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon |
[01:54] |
When she hear Der Bingo croon |
[01:56] |
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola |
[02:00] |
Go down Point Koomahnah |
[02:03] |
Both mother and daughter |

G.I. romance with native peach |
[02:21] |
All night long, make tropic love |
[02:23] |
Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off |

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola |
[02:30] |
Go down Point Koomahnah |
[02:34] |
Both mother and daughter |
[02:36] |
Workin' for the Yankee dollar |

It's a fact, man, it's a fact |
[02:48] |
Rum and Coca-Cola |
