I'm looking for a calypso song I recently heard played live in a small bar on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. The musicians couldn't think of a recording of the song, but said it's called "Rum." The chorus goes something like...

"I never seen a woman drink so much rum
She does the cooking, she does the cleaning
And then she falls down."

Anyone familiar with it?

Wow! I had NO idea Morey Amsterdam wrote that song!! LOL! That is GREAT! I learned that song in high school in the 1970's because our high school was doing a musical review of music over the ages, and I was one fo the girls chosen to immitate the Andrew Sisters. Maxine Andrews attended the high school show (it was in LA) and gave the three of us autographed pictures somewhere. I still have it. I learned the Rum and Coca Cola song off some anthology of Andrew Sisters recordings, it was a several record set. I remember it being pinkish on the cover.

And my mother is a classically trained musician and music teacher and when we would watch the Dick Van Dyke Show, she would always say "Morey Amsterdam is a real musician tho, he really can play classical cello and he is a real musician, he is not playing one as an actor." My mom would also say that about Jerry Van Dyke when he would guest on that show and on Andy Griffith Show. My mom would always remind us that Jerry Van Dyke was actually a "real" musician. So it is funny now to find out Morey Amsterdam is a composer of pop songs! I did not know that...

Lord Invader collected a tidy sum from Amsterdam for his plagiarism. As, I think, Belasco did for the tune.

Snarky- good word! Pops up around 1906 (Webster's Collegiate and OED) but means snappish or ill-tempered. It could have changed meanings recently, however, as some of these slang words have.

I think that the definition has changed for "snark".

is routinely used on the political blog dailykos to signal that a person is using sarcasm. Some bloggers also put after a comment that is meant sarcastically.

There certainly have been times when such a snarky or sarcastic signal would have been helpful around here....

More on 'snark' and its origin:
Snark in various forms is common in German and Scandanavian language- to gnash, snort, or snore. It's origin is at least medieval. Found in English writings by the 1860's.
Jamieson's Scottish Dictionary in 1882 defined 'to snark' as 'to fret, grumble, or find fault with someone'.
By the early 1900's snarky was firmly in English, meaning irritable, short-tempered. In the popular "Railway Children," by Nesbit, is found " Don't be snarky, Peter. It isn't our fault."
R. Fay, "Letters," 1912, wrote "So sorry I seem so snarkish just now."

As noted above, another meaning and use of 'snark'- 'Lewis Carroll' gave the name to an imaginary animal (1876).
By 1879, 'snark-hunting' became popular, and quickly entered political commentary.

Defining snarky as 'sarcastic' bends the meaning a bit; not yet found in the OED, but this meaning has entered slang.
Sometimes shortened to 'narky'.

Are these the complete lyrics to Rum and Coca Cola by Lord Invader...

Rum and Coca Cola (1943)
Lord Invader

Since the Yankees come to Trinidad,
They have the young girls all goin' mad.
The young girls say they treat'em nice,
And they give them a better price.

Chorus
They buy rum an' Coca Cola,
Go down to Point Cumana.
Both mother and daughter,
Working for the Yankee dollar.

Ah, look I had a little chick the other day,
But her mother came and took her away,
Herself, her mother and her sisters,
Went in a cab with some soldiers. (Chorus)

Chorus:
Rum and Coca-Cola,
Go down Point Cumana.

They have some aristos
in Port of Spain,
I know a lot, but I won't call name,
And in the day they wouldn't give you a right
But you might see them with the foreigners late at night,
drinking (chorus)

I know a couple who got married one afternoon,
And was to go Miami on their honeymoon,
But the bride run away with a soldier lad,
And the stupid husband went staring mad. (Chorus)

...or are some verses missing?

Notice to all calypsophiles. I am planning to put up a website devoted to "Rum and Coca-Cola" and to the two copyright infringement lawsuits which followed the release of the Andrews Sisters' version of the song. I would be happy to correspond with anyone else interested in the song. You can contact me directly at [e-mail].
At the moment I am interested in getting information about Jeri Sullavan's career after 1944. I would also like to get short biographies of two Trinidadians - Cecil Voisin and Cedric Espinet - who helped Lord Invader get to New York and launch the "Khan vs. Feist" lawsuit.

Hi Kevin,

I saw your post on the song, "Rum and Coca Cola", and had a question for you.

When I lived in France in the late 1980's, a popular "alternative" radio station called Radio Nova used to play lots of obscure music from all over. This was the first time I heard the song – but the version was much more recent – probably mid/late-80's - and came with its own unique twist…

The singer was male and sang in a gravel-voiced Brooklyn Jewish accent. The lyrics were overtly political, and an early leftist critique of globalization: "Workin' for the Yankee dollar" was framed in the context of exploited workers. The one line I remember is, "Listen up, you dumb shlamuzzel – you oughta fight the bosses, not your sister and your brother!"

I've scoured the net and even wrote to Radio Nova (the radio station), but I haven't found any reference to it.

Have you come across it?

Thanks!

Laura

Leadfingers, responding to your 2004 message,

It appears there are quite a number of "blue" verses to this song ... and that, in fact, "Rum and Coca-Cola" may have had bawdy versions quite early on.

It would be good if we could reconstruct what some of those versions are. Quite a few of us out here are interested in recovering lesser known items from Anglo-American bawdy tradition.

So I, for one, would love to see those verses you sang in the RAAF.   Do you think you could bring yourself to add them to this thread? You can always put in a line first saying something like Warning Bawdy Verses Ahead, or whatever.

And anyone else who has bawdy verses to this song, please add them too. Post 'em anonymously if you will, but post 'em!

Thanks,

Bob

Kevin Burke, my compliments to you on your interesting and informative website about the song "Rum and Coca Cola". I've bookmarked that site and intend to visit it often.

I took the advice that you gave in your home page and began by reading the "Rum And Coca Cola Trail" page. I found your well documented account of the history of that song and the plagiarism trail to be fascinating. And I smiled at this ending portion:

"In 1973 MCA Records (MCA had bought out Decca) released a double album of the Andrews Sisters' greatest hits. On side one, band four is the greatest of their greatest, "Rum and Coca-Cola". One wishes that the singing group had still been together at that point to add one more verse. It would have gone like this:

"When Morey sang at the USO,
The soldiers really loved the show.
But when he stole Invader's song,
The Yankee judge say he was wrong.
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola . . ."

-snip-

I'm wondering if you intend to add some related pages about the history and lyrics to songs of other early calypsonians like Attila The Hun and Radio. That would be great since it's difficult to find online and offline information {particularly anecdotal information} about early Calysonians and lyrics to their songs.

Best wishes to you and your website!

I noticed a whole entirely different set of lyrics here:

http://www.mentomusic.com/images/jcs7.jpg

I doubt these are "the original" lyrics at all - particularly as they are from a 1950s booklet called "Jamaican Calypso Songs" and R&CC is Trinidadian.

However, these lyrics are great. They have nothing to do with the sense of the chorus - they're basically just 'floater' lyrics in the fine tradition of folksong bawdy/nonsense/childish floater lyrics a la fiddle tunes, worksongs etc.

They do read like the sort of thing a naughty Calypsonian would write. The last verse is equal parts Benny Hill and Samuel Beckett!

Amsterdam's attorneys argued that the album notes of the calypso anthology which included "L'Annee Paase" stated (paraphrasing)'...these songs have been passed down from generation to generation...", and this was their strongest point, because if that were true, the melodies would be in the public domain.

But that was, of course, merely sales talk. Belasco's authorship and copyright were easily shown to be valid.

My copy of the Andrews sisters' recording definitely has "Go down Point Cumana".

Here's the transcription of the lyrics that Matt Milton found, at Mento Music. It is a scan of a booklet said to be printed probably in the 1950s. I have added some punctuation:


RUM AND COCA-COLA

1. If you eat too much, it's not good for you
And if you love too much, that is bad, too.
It will kill you by and by,
But, oh, what a pleasant way to die.

CHORUS: Drinking rum and Coca-Cola.
Down Point Kumanna [sic]
Both mother and daughter
Working for the Yankee dollar.

2. I had a girl; she was fat and tall.
I took her to the newspaper masquerade ball.
Her dress caught fire, burn in entire
Front page and sports page section and all.

3. Jamaican boy drink his papa's rum.
His mammy spanked him when he was done.
He got sick and he got plastered.
She said, "Go to bed, you little love child."

4. A little boy sat down and cried.
An old man passing asked him why.
He said he couldn't do what the big boys do.
The old man sat down and he cried too.

Rum and Cocoanut Water
I cannot get in America.
3
I remember when I was young
I was very robust and strong
But now as I walk on the street
I feel a weakness into my feet.
4
So I am going back to Jamaica where
I can get Cocoanut Water
For where'er in the world I roam
Sweet Jamaica's my happy home.
5
Yes, I am going back to the West Indies
America is too cold for me.
I'll settle down in any old home town
Where we have sunshine all the year roun'.
6
For in America they have snow
But in Jamaica it is not so
And my Body is getting old
I am not able to stand the cold.

Now baby when I get home
Never more will I roam
Underneath the bright sunny sky
I'll live in Jamaica until I die.

I had a 10" 78 rpm Andrews Sisters record of this about 1946, in which the 2nd line of the chorus was definitely "Go down Point Cumana" ~~ there was certainly no "ooh-la-la" about it.

I am not sure of the label, but it was certainly a British one, & I think it might have been HMV purple-label. But I do most definitely remember that the flip-side was One Meat Ball.

Can anyone identify the recording from this info?

Just a correction on the place names in Trinidad, which refer to actual places, of course.
Point Cumana is on the Southern side of the North-West peninsula, near the place called Carenage.
Monos and Chacachacare are islands between that North-West peninsula and Venezuela. They are a short boat ride away from Point Cumana. Monos is the closest island; Chacachacare is farthest away.
Manzanilla Beach is on the opposite side of Trinidad. A very long sandy beach on the Atlantic coast on the East.

I don't know if spellings were correct in the original lyrics, but transcribers obviously would not have known.

I get kind of irritated by the misaimed fandom of this song. A lot of people I know seem to like it because it's so upbeat, completely missing the point. It's about how "those American soldiers are overpaid, oversexed and over here, and they're "stealing our women". Yeah, a man going mad because his wife ran off an American. That's so happy.

RHUM ET COCA-COLA
interprétée par Jean Sablon

1. Si par hasard un jour vous allez
À l'île de la Trinité
Vous serez surpris de constater
Que là-bas on fait tout sans se presser

{Refrain:} Tout en causant du temps qu'il fera
Au pied des quinquinas
Et en buvant chaque fois
Rhum rhum rhum et Coca-Cola

2. C'est la seule boisson de tout l' pays
Il faut prendre ça ou bien d' l'eau de pluie
C'est à cause d'elle que dans la vie
On fait tout tout tout au ralenti

3. Le porteur chargé d' vous apporter
Votre malle qu'est trop lourde à porter
Arrivera vers minuit passé
En disant "J' suis venu sans trop m' presser" {au Refrain}

4. Le facteur qui porte le courrier
Vous amène d'un air essoufflé
Un télégramme de l'an passé
Et poursuit tranquillement sa tournée {au Refrain}

5. Ainsi va la vie sans trop s' presser
Pour qu'on ait l' temps d'en profiter
Et les braves gens d' la Trinité
