Rum and Coca-Cola

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

Coca-ColaGo down

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

It's a fact, man, it's a fact
