| Andrew Sisters - Rum And Coca-Cola (1945) |
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 Cumana
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 Cumana
Both mother and daughter, workin' for the yankee dollar...
Oh you vex me, you vex me
From Chacachacare to Monos Isle, native girls all dance and smile
Help soldier celebrate his leave, make every day like New Years Eve
Drinkin' Rum and Coca Cola, go down Point Cumana
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 natives swoon, when she hear Der Bingle croon
Drinkin' Rum and Coca Cola, go down to Point Cumana
Both mother and daughter, workin' for the yankee dollar...
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
Drinkin' Rum and Coca Cola, go down Point Cumana
Both mother and daughter, workin' for the yankee dollar...
Oh it's a fact man, it's a fact
Rum and Coca Cola-ahh
Rum and Coca Cola-ahh
Workin' for the Yankee dollar.....
