Lyrics
- If you ever go to Trinidad
They make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one good real fine time
Chorus
Drinkin’ rum and Coca-Cola
Go down “Point Koomahnah”
Both mother and daughter
Workin’ for the Yankee dollar
- You will see on Manzinella beach
G. I. romance with native “peach”
The whole night long make tropic love
Next day sit in hot sun and cool off
Chorus
Drinkin’ rum and Coca-Cola
Go down “Point Koomahnah”
Both mother and daughter
Workin’ for the Yankee dollar
Drinkin’ rum and Coca-Cola
Rum and Coca-Cola
