Wilmoth Houdini - The Cooks in Trinidad

Rum and Coca Cola

Trinidadýen girls are very nice
Thy go out to picnic's every night
The G.I. say that they treat them right
When they disch them out a plate of bearfoot rice
Drinki'n rum and coca cola
going to Point koo-mah-nah
Father mother and daughter
worki'n for the jankee dollar
The jankee dollar bill
The young and old are just the same
when it comes to a good time they
are always game
they will eat and drink as long as it's free
thats the policy of the west Indies
Drinki'n rum and coca cola
going to Point koo-mah-nah
father mother and daughter
worki'n for the Jankee Dollar
money in the land
the Jankee Dollar bill
They will leave Port of Spain at the break of dayin a Taxi cab bound forTex rom Bay
with rum and coak every thing to eat
that's wat we call a west Indian feast
Drinki'n rum and coca cola
going down Point koo- mah-nah
father mother and doughter
workin'n for the Jankee Dollar
money in the land
the Yankee Bollar bill
These girls don't know wat it's
all abought
when the liqueur is in the wit's is out
they will start a fight on any street
and attract the police men on there beat
Drinki'n rum and coca cola
going down Point koo-mah-nah
father mother and doughter worki'n for the Jankee Dollar
money in the land the Jankee Dollar bill
friends I know that I am right
Trinidad is a paradiseyou will always have plenty money to spend
then you will have a nice girl friend
Drinki'n rum and coca cola
going down Point koo- mah-nah
father mother and doughter
worki'n for the Jankee Dollar
the Jankee Dollar, bill
rum and coca cola, rum and coca cola
