Jean and Dinah |
| Well the girls in town feeling bad |
| No more Yankees in Trinidad |
| They going to close down the base for good |
| Them girls have to make out just how they could |
| Brother is now they park up in town |
| In for a penny, and in for a pound |
| And it’s competition for so |
| Trouble in the town when the price drop low |
| So Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina, |
| Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling |
| And if you find them broken you can get it all for nothing |
| Don’t make no row, the yankees gone, Sparrow take over now |
| Things bad is to hear them cry |
| Not a sailor in town, the night clubs dry |
| Only West Indians like me or you |
| Want to get just one drink or two |
| And as we have things back in control |
| Ah seeking revenge with me heart and soul |
| No more hotel to rest your head |
| By the sweat of thy brow thou shall eat bread |
| So Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina, |
| Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling |
| And if you find them broken you can get it all for nothing |
| Don’t make no row, when the yankees gone, the Sparrow take over now |
| When the Yankee was in full swing |
| Just imagine how Calypsonian was suffering |
| Mavis told me straight to me face |
| How she find I too fast and out of place |
| No, no, no, they would start to fret |
| Money or not poor Sparrow can’t get |
| With the Yankees you have it cool |
| Calypsonians too hard to fool |
| So Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina, |
| Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling |
| And if you find them broken you can get it all for nothing |
| Don’t make no row, the yankees gone, Sparrow take over now |
| We reach the glamour boys again |
| We are going to rule Port of Spain |
| No more Yankees to spoil the fete |
| Dorothy have to take what she gets |
| Since the natives are back in control |
| Ah seeking revenge with me heart and soul |
| No more hotel to rest your head |
| By the sweat of thy brow thou shall eat bread |
| So Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina, |
| Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling |
| And if you find them broken you can get it all for nothing |
| Don’t make no… |
