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


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


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 Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for The Yankee dollar


Oh, it's a fact, man, it's a fact


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


Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Rum and Coca-Cola

Workin' for The Yankee dollar
