Rum & Coca-Cola

And when the Yankees first went to Trinidad
Some of the young girls were more than glad
They said that the Yankees treat them nice
And they give them a better price

They buy rum and coco-cola
Went down Point Cumana
Both mothers and daughters
Working for their Yankee dollars

I had a little girlfriend the other day
But her mother came and took her away
Herself, her mother and her sisters
Went in a cab with some soldiers

They bought rum and coco-cola
Went down Point Cumana
Both mothers and daughters
Working for their Yankee dollars

Yes they have some aristos in Port of Spain
I know a lot, but I won't call name
And in the day they wouldn't give you a right
But you can see them with the foreigners late at night

Drinking rum and coco-cola
Went down Point Cumana
Both mothers and daughters
Working for their Yankee dollars

I know a couple who got married one afternoon
And was to fly to Miami on their honeymoon
But the bride run away with a soldier lad
And the stupid husband went staring mad

They bought rum and coco-cola
Went down Point Cumana
Both mothers and daughters
Working for their Yankee dollars

I wonder what is your interested opinion
We haven't got no bad speaking Trinidadian
We never said "caca cola"
Neither did we say "Yankey dallah"

We sung rum and coco-cola
Went down Point Cumana
Both mothers and daughters
Working for their Yankee dollars
