I'll Get by as Long as I Have You |
| 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, beat it man, beat it |
| Since the Yankee come 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 Koomahnah |
| Both mother and daughter |
| Workin' 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 |
| Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola |
| Go down Point Koomahnah |
| Both mother and daughter |
| Workin' 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 Bingle croon |
| Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola |
| Go down Point Koomahnah |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| It's a fact, man, it's a fact |
| Rum and Coca-Cola |
| Rum and Coca-Cola |
| Workin' for the Yankee dollar |
