Rum And Coca-Cola

Rum And Coca-Cola - Glenn Miller/Vic Schoen & His Orchestra/Al Klink

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

Drinking rum and Coca-Cola

Go down Point Koomahnah

Both mother and daughter

Working for the Yankee dollar

Oh beat it man beat it

Since the Yankee come to Trinidad

They got the young girls all going mad

Young girls say they treat 'em nice

Make Trinidad like paradise

Drinking rum and Coca-Cola

Go down Point Koomahnah

Both mother and daughter

Working 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

Drinking rum and Coca-Cola

Go down Point Koomahnah

Both mother and daughter

Working 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

Drinking rum and Coca-Cola

Go down Point Koomahnah

Both mother and daughter

Working 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

Drinking rum and Coca-Cola

Go down Point Koomahnah

Both mother and daughter

Working for the Yankee dollar

It's a fact man it's a fact

Rum and Coca-Cola

Rum and Coca-Cola

Working for the Yankee dollar
