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

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 Koomahnah
  Both mother and daughter
  Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Oh, you vex me, you vex me

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

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 native swoon
When she hear der Bingo croon

  Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
  Go down Point Koomahnah
  Both mother and daughter
  Workin' for the Yankee dollar

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

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

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