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 Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Working for the Yankee dollar
Oh, beat it, man, beat it
[Verse 3]
Since the Yankee come to Trinidad
They got all the young girls goin' mad
Young girls say they treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise
[Verse 4]
Drinking rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Oh, you vex me, you vex me
[Verse 5]
From Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle
Native girls all dance and smile
Help soldiers celebrate his leave
Make every day like New Year's Eve
[Verse 6]
Drinking rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Working for the Yankee dollar
[Verse 7]
In old Trinidad, I also fear
The situation is mighty queer
Like Yankee girl, the natives swoon
When she hear the bingo croon
[Verse 8]
Drinking rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Working for the Yankee dollar
[Verse 9]
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 10]
Drinking rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Working for the Yankee dollar
[Verse 11]
Rum and Coca-Cola
Drinking rum and Coca-Cola
Rum and coca-cola
Working for the Yankee dollar
