I'm mighty glad
that I'm the lad
from down in Trinidad.
The nights are cool
and I'm a fool about the women in Trinidad.
You can go for a swim with a girl
so trim in sarongs of plaid.
They'll rassle a shark
just for a lark down in Trinidad.
I've heard about old Mexico
from a guy named Joe Alas,
okay, he's mighty gay,
but I'm no Eskimo
When you dance, you've
got romance,
all the gals are glad
The little missus like their kisses
down in Trinidad
Sleep all day, at night we play,
there ain't nobody sad
Eyes are bright and hearts are light,
down in Trinidad
You've heard about our coffee,
our sugar is so refined
Our cocoa's sweet as a gal's,
you'll meet with lips like cherry wine
We don't use money
that may seem funny,
take it from this lad,
when you buy a rug
it just costs a hug down in Trinidad.
It's awful nice if you like dice,
it ain't really bad,
when you hit a lick and win a check
down in Trinidad.
We don't use bait,
but fishing's great down in Trinidad
Hang a mirror above the fish
fall in love down in Trinidad
You've heard about our coffee,
our sugar is so refined
Our cocoa's sweet as the cows
you meet with lips like cherry wine
Here's an invitation to
spend your vacation
down in Trinidad.
We'll dance and play,
you'll want to stay down in Trinidad.
Trinidad, Trinidad.
