If you ever go down
TrinidadThey make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one real good fine time
Drinkin' rum and
Coca-ColaGo down
Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the
Yankee dollar
Oh, beat it man, beat it
Since the
Yankee come to
TrinidadThey got the young girls all goin' mad
Young girls say they treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise
Drinkin' rum and
Coca-ColaGo 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
EveDrinkin' rum and
Coca-ColaGo 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
Bingo croon
Drinkin' rum and
Coca-ColaGo down
Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the
Yankee dollar
Out on Manzanella
BeachG.I. romance with native peach
All night long, make tropic love
Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off
Drinkin' rum and
Coca-ColaGo down
Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the
Yankee dollar
It's a fact, man, it's a fact
Rum and Coca-
