If you ever go down Trinidad

They make you feel so very glad

Calypso sing and make up rhyme

Guarantee you one real good time

Go down Point Koomahnah

Both mother and daughter

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Beat it man beat it

Since the Yankee come to Trinidad

To must be gives mad and glad

Young girls say they treat 'em nice

Make Trinidad like paradise

Go down Point Koomahnah

Both mother and daughter

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle

Native girls all dance and smile

Help soldier celebrate his leave

Make every day like New Year's Eve

Go down Point Koomahnah

Both mother and daughter

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Go down Point Koomahnah

Both mother and daughter

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Workin' for the Yankee dollar
