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 Bingle 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
Если вы когда-нибудь приедете на Тринидад,
Они принесут вам много радости.
Калипсо поет и пишет стихи,
Гарантирует вам хорошее времяпрепровождение.
Пью ром и кока-колу,
Иду в местность Кумана.
Мать и дочь
Работают за американский доллар.
Отстань, парень, отстань.
С тех пор как янки появились на Тринидаде,
Молодые девушки сходят по ним с ума.
Молодые девушки говорят,
Что они хорошо с ними обращаются.
Делают Тринидад раем.
Пью ром и кока-колу,
Иду в местность Кумана.
Мать и дочь
Работают за американский доллар.
Ты раздражаешь меня, ты раздражаешь меня.
От Чикачикари до острова Мона
Местные девушки танцуют и улыбаются,
Помогают солдату отпраздновать его отпуск.
Делают каждый день похожим на канун Нового года.
Пью ром и кока-колу,
Иду в местность Кумана.
Мать и дочь
Работают за американский доллар.
Это факт, парень, это факт.
На старом Тринидаде я боюсь,
Что ситуация очень странная.
Как и американки, местные падают в обморок,
Когда слышат пение Дер Бингла.
Пью ром и кока-колу,
Иду в местность Кумана.
Мать и дочь
Работают за американский доллар.
На пляже Манзанелла
У американского солдата роман с местной девушкой.
Всю ночь напролет занимаются тропической любовью.
На следующий день
Сидят под горячим солнцем и отдыхают.
Пью ром и кока-колу,
Иду в местность Кумана.
Мать и дочь
Работают за американский доллар.
Это факт, парень, это факт.
Ром и кока-кола
Ром и кока-кола
Работают за американский доллар
