[G7]
If you [C] ever go down Trinidad, they make you feel so [G7] very glad
Ca-[Dm]lypso [G7] sing and [Dm] make up [G7] rhyme
Guarantee you one real [C] good fine time
Drinkin' [C] rum and Coca-Cola, go down Point Koomah-[G7]nah
[F] Both mother and daugh-[G7]ter, workin' for the [C] Yankee dollar
Since the [C] Yankee come to Trinidad, they got the young girls all [G7] goin' mad
[Dm] Young girls [G7] say they [Dm] treat 'em [G7] nice
Make Trinidad like [C] paradise
Drinkin' [C] rum and Coca-Cola, go down Point Koomah-[G7]nah
[F] Both mother and daugh-[G7]ter, workin' for the [C] Yankee dollar
From [C] Chica-chicaree to Mona's Isle, native girls all [G7] dance and smile
[Dm] Help soldier [G7] cele-[Dm]brate his [G7] leave
Make every day like [C] New Year's Eve
Drinkin' [C] rum and Coca-Cola, go down Point Koomah-[G7]nah
[F] Both mother and daugh-[G7]ter, workin' for the [C] Yankee dollar
In [C] old Trinidad, I also fear, the situa-{sob}tion{eob} is [G7] mighty queer
Like the [Dm] Yankee [G7] girl, the [Dm] native [G7] swoon
When she hear der [C] Bingle croon
Drinkin' [C] rum and Coca-Cola, go down Point Koomah-[G7]nah
[F] Both mother and daugh-[G7]ter, workin' for the [C] Yankee dollar
Out on [C] Manzanella Beach, G.I. romance with [G7] native peach
[Dm] All night [G7] long, make [Dm] tropic [G7] love
Next day, sit in hot sun [C] and cool off
Drinkin' [C] rum and Coca-Cola, go down Point Koomah-[G7]nah
[F] Both mother and daugh-[G7] ter, workin' for the [C] Yankee dollar
[F] Both mother and daugh-[G7] ter, workin' for the [C] Yankee dollar
