Since the Yankee come to Trinidad
They got the young girls all goin’ mad
Young girls say they treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
In old Trinidad, I also fear
The situation is mighty queer
Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon
When she hear der Bingo croon
