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.....
