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 Drinkin’ rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin’ for the Yankee dollar Oh, beat it man, beat it Since the Yankee come to Trinidad They got the young girls all goin’ mad Young girls say they treat ’em nice Make Trinidad like paradise Drinkin’ rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin’ for the Yankee dollar Oh, you vex me, you vex me From Chicachicaree to Mona’s Isle Native girls all dance and smile Help soldier celebrate his leave Make every day like New Year’s Eve Drinkin’ rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin’ for the Yankee dollar It’s a fact, man, it’s a fact In old Trinidad, I also fear The situation is mighty queer Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon When she hear der Bingle croon Drinkin’ rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Cumana Both mother and daughter Workin’ for the Yankee dollar Out on Manzanella Beach G.I. romance with native peach All night long, make tropic love Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off Drinkin’ rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin’ for the Yankee dollar It’s a fact, man, it’s a fact Rum and Coca-Cola Rum and Coca-Cola Workin’ for the Yankee dollar (Words: Morey Amsterdam / Original Music: Jeri Sullavan, Paul Baron)
