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, it’s a fact, man, it’s a fact]

From Chacachacare to Mono's Isle
Native girls all dance and smile
Help soldiers celebrate his leave
Make every day like New Year's Eve

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]

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 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]

Out on Manzanilla Beach
G.I. romance with native peach
All night long, make tropic love
The 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

Drinking rum and Coca-Cola
Rum and Coca-Cola
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
