OK, Dick, I did my homework, and this is what I came up with:


Rum and Coca Cola

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.

[Chorus]
Drinkin’ rum and Coca Cola;
Go down "Point Koo-mah-nah,"
Both mother and daughter
Workin’ for the Yankee dollar.

Since the Yankee come to Trinidad,
They got the young girls all goin’ mad.
Your girls say they treat ‘em nice,
Make Trinidad like paradise.
Chorus

From Chicki-chick-kari to Mona’s Isle (unclear)
Native girls all dance and smile
Help soldier celebrate his leave
Make every day like New Year’s Eve
Chorus

In old Trinidad, I also fear
The situation is mighty queer,
Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon,
When she hear Der Bingle croon.
Chorus

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
Chorus

Any visitor to Trinidad
Can have good time he never had.
If he come just for rest, okay.
Then he lie around in sun all day.
Chorus

Island gal have figure fine
Just like Trinidad coastline
But there's one thing I must make plain
She's a little plump about Port Au Spain
Chorus
