Rum & Coca Cola — текст песни (Paul Baron)

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

Drinkin` rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Singin` for the Yankee dollar

Any visitor to Trinidad
Can have good time he never had
If he come just for rest, okay
Then he lie around in sun all day

Drinkin` rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Singin` for the Yankee dollar

Additional verses:

All the teen-age babies very keen
To listen to juke box machine
It stimulates their heart `n` soul
Just to hear Calypso rock `n` roll

In Trinidad out on Green Hill
Lives native man called Papa Bill
Got nineteen wives, but he`s blue because
He also got nineteen mother-in-laws

Oldest native here is ninety-nine
But still he feel so nice `n` fine
On Tee-vee show he smile `n` say
Nothing to it, I just got that way

Native girl got figure fine
Just like Trinidad coast-line
But one thing that you see so plain
She`s a little plump around Port of Spain

I bought a dog in Trinidad
Best darn dog I ever had
He so smart that little pup
Walk on front legs...if you hold back ones up

When soldier go parading by
Native girls all wink the eye
Help soldier celebrate his leave
Make every day like New Year`s Eve
