Rum And Coca-Cola lyrics

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

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

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

Oh, you vex me, you vex me

In old Trinidad, I also fear

The situation is mighty queer

Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon

When she hear "der Bingel" croon

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

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

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola

Rum and Coca-Cola

Workin' for the Yankee dollar
