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
Kumana
Both Mother
And Daughter
Workin' for the
Yankee dollar
Oh beat it mon beat it
If a yankee comes
To Trinidad they
Got the young girls
All goin' mad
Young girls say they
Treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad
Like paradise
Drinkin' rum and
Coca cola
Go down point
Kumana
Both Mother
And Daughter
Workin' for the
Yankee dollar
Oh you vex me
You vex me ''
Chick-ie chick
Carry to
Molnas Isle
Native girls all dance
And smile
Help soldier
Celebrate his leave
Makes ev'ry day like
New Year's Eve
Drinkin' rum and
Coca cola
Go down point
Kumana
Both Mother
And Daughter
Workin' for the
Yankee dollar
Oh it's a fact mon
It's a fact ''
In old Trinidad
I also fear
The situation is
Mighty queer
Like the yankee girls
And natives swoon
When she hear 'der
Bingle' croon
Drinkin' rum and
Coca cola
Go down point
Kumana
Both Mother
And Daughter
Workin' for the
Yankee dollar
Out on
Manzanella Beach
G I romance
With native peach
All night long
Make tropic love
The next day sit in
Hot sun and
Cool off
Drinkin' rum and
Coca cola
Go down point
Kumana
Both Mother
And Daughter
Workin' for the
Yankee dollar
Oh it's a fact mon
It's a fact
Rum and
Coca Cola
Rum and
Coca Cola
Workin' for the
Yankee dollar
