Rhum and Coca Cola

Arielle Dombasle

If you ever go down Trinidad
They make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme

Guarantee you_one good real fine time

Drinkin' rum and CocaCola
Go down "Point Koomahnah"
Both mother and daughter

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

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 CocaCola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

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 CocaCola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

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 CocaCola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Out on Manzanella Beach
GI. romance with native peach
All night long, make tropic love

Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off

Drinkin' rum and CocaCola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Rum and CocaCola _
Rum and CocaCola _
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
