[Verse 1]
When the Yankees came to Trinidad
All the native, young girls was more than glad
Sayin' G.I. boys are very nice
They make Trinidad like paradise
[Chorus]
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Goin' down Point Koo-mah-nah
Father, mother, and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Money in the land
The Yankee dollar bill
[Verse 2]
Out on Manzanella Beach
G.I. romance with native peach
Friends, it is a pleasure to see
Love makin' under the bamboo tree
[Chorus]
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Goin' down Point Koo-mah-nah
Father, mother, and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Money in the land
The Yankee dollar bill
[Verse 3]
Now, the lady girls can cut a rug
You should see them dancing like a jitter bug
They get hip to the Yankee jive
On the dancefloor, you should see them glide
[Chorus]
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Goin' down Point Koo-mah-nah
Father, mother, and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Money in the land
The Yankee dollar bill
[Verse 4]
In old Trinidad, when I was there
Financial foundation was very clear
But now in this twentieth century
They're spending their money on luxury
[Chorus]
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Goin' down Point Koo-mah-nah
Father, mother, and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Money in the land
The Yankee dollar bill
[Verse 5]
The Andrew Sisters and Bing Crosby
Must take a trip to the West Indie
Sit down under the silvery moon
And hear the calypsonians croon
[Chorus]
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Goin' down Point Koo-mah-nah
Father, mother, and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
[Verse 6]
Trinidadian girls are very nice
They go out to picnics day and night
The G.I. say that they treat them right
When they dish them out a plate of bearfoot rice
[Chorus]
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Goin' down Point Koo-mah-nah
Father, mother, and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
The Yankee dollar bill
[Verse 7]
The young and old are just the same
When it comes to a good time, they are always game
They will eat and drink as long as it's free
That's the policy of the West Indies
[Chorus]
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Goin' down Point Koo-mah-nah
Father, mother, and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Money in the land
The Yankee dollar bill
[Verse 8]
They will leave Port of Spain at the break of day
In a taxi cab bound for Teteron Bay
With rum and coke, everything to eat
That's what we call a west Indian feast
[Chorus]
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Goin' down Point Koo-mah-nah
Father, mother, and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Money in the land
The Yankee dollar bill
[Verse 9]
These girls don't know what it is all about
When the liquor is in, the wit's is out
They will start a fight on Henry street
And attract the police men on their beat
[Chorus]
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Goin' down Point Koo-mah-nah
Father, mother, and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Money in the land
The Yankee dollar bill
[Verse 10]
Friends, I know that I am right
Trinidad is a paradise
You will always have plenty money to spend
Then you will have a nice girl friend
[Outro]
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Goin' down Point Koo-mah-nah
Father, mother, and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
The Yankee dollar bill
Rum and Coca-Cola
