Rum And Coca-Cola [French translation]

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

It's a fact, man, it's a fact

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

Oh, you vex me, you vex me

In old Trinidad, I also fear

The situation is mighty queer

Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon

When she hear "der Bingel" croon

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

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

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola

Rum and Coca-Cola

Workin' for the Yankee dollar
