Sing a Tropical Song Lyrics
Sing A Tropical Song - The Andrew Sisters/Mickey Rooney
On beautiful tropical trinidad isle
Where caribbean breezes play
The quaint little natives will greet you
And smile as they welcome you
This way
As they welcome you
This way
Upon the isle I'm from which we come
We have a national characteristic
Which is very strong
Because we put the accent upon a wrong syllable
And we sing a tropical song
Upon the isle I'm from which we come
The point of interest beside the coconuts
Is that we put the accent upon the wrong syllable
And we sing a tropical song
We could show the natural wonders of the scenery
To you
We could show the native birds perhaps give two or three
To you
And describe the climate also tell the elevation
We could very hastily introduce the population
We could show you the hotel the need of places
We could take you to the bar visitors may fall upon their faces
If only we had a track we could probably take you to the races
But we prefer to accquaint you with the following interesting fact
That on the isle I'm on from which we come
We have a national characteristic
Which is very strong
And if you should remain here
You will discover one peculiar thing
Before very long
That you have put the accent upon the wrong syllable
And you sing a tropical song
And so we say welcome
To you
