Rum & Coca-Cola

And when the Yankees first went to Trinidad

Some of the young girls were more than glad

They said that the Yankees treat them nice

And they give them a better price

They buy rum and coco-cola

Went down Point Cumana

Both mothers and daughters

Working for their Yankee dollars

I had a little girlfriend the other day

But her mother came and took her away

Herself, her mother and her sisters

Went in a cab with some soldiers

They bought rum and coco-cola

Went down Point Cumana

Both mothers and daughters

Working for their Yankee dollars

Yes they have some aristos in Port of Spain

I know a lot, but I won't call name

And in the day they wouldn't give you a right

But you can see them with the foreigners late at night

Drinking rum and coco-cola

Went down Point Cumana

Both mothers and daughters

Working for their Yankee dollars

I know a couple who got married one afternoon

And was to fly to Miami on their honeymoon

But the bride run away with a soldier lad

And the stupid husband went staring mad

They bought rum and coco-cola

Went down Point Cumana

Both mothers and daughters

Working for their Yankee dollars

I wonder what is your interested opinion

We haven't got no bad speaking Trinidadian

We never said "caca cola"

Neither did we say "Yankey dallah"

We sung rum and coco-cola

Went down Point Cumana

Both mothers and daughters

Working for their Yankee dollars
