Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you ever go down Trinidad
They make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one real good fine time
[Verse 2]
Drinking rum and Coca Cola
Go down Point Cumana
Both mother and daughter
Working for the Yankee dollar
[Verse 3]
Oh beat it, man, beat it
[Verse 4]
Since the Yankee come to Trinidad
They got the young girls all going mad
Young girls say they treat him nice
Make Trinidad like paradise
[Verse 5]
Drinking rum and Coca Cola
Go down Point Cumana
Both mother and daughter
Working for the Yankee dollar
[Verse 6]
Oh, you vex me, you vex me
[Verse 7]
From Chica-chi-carry to Mona's Isle
Native girls all dance and smile
Help soldier celebrate his leave
Make everyday like New year`s eve
[Verse 8]
Drinking rum and Coca Cola
Go down Point Cumana
Both mother and daughter
Working for the Yankee dollar
[Verse 9]
It`s fact, man, it`s a fact
[Verse 10]
In old Trinidad I also fear
The situation is mighty queer
Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon
When she hear dear Bingo croon
[Verse 11]
Drinking rum and Coca Cola
Go down Point Cumana
Both mother and daughter
Working for the Yankee dollar
[Verse 12]
Out on Manzanilla beach
G.I romance with native peach
All night long make tropic love
Next day sit in hot sun and cool off
[Verse 13]
Drinking rum and Coca Cola
Go down Point Cumana
Both mother and daughter
Working for the Yankee dollar
[Verse 14]
It`s a fact, man, it`s a fact
[Verse 15]
Rum and Coca Cola
Rum and Coca Cola
Working for the Yankee dollar
