Текст песни Jean and Dinah - The Mighty Sparrow

Once more!
Take it away!

Well the girls in town feeling bad
No more Yankees in Trinidad
They going to close down the base for good
Them girls have to make out how they could
Brother it's now they park up in town
In for a penny, and in for a pound
Believe me, it's competition for so
Trouble in town when the price drop low

So when you bounce up:

Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina
Round the corner posing
Bet your life is something they selling
And if you catch them broke
You can get it all for nothing
Don't make no row!
When the Yankees gone, the Sparrow take over now

Thing is bad is to hear them cry
Not a sailor in town, the night clubs dry
Only West Indians like me or you
Going to get a drink or two
And as we have things back in control
Ah seeking revenge with meh heart and soul
Brother I wanna spread the news aroun'
Is to see how them cavemen come into town

Just to meet with:

Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina
Round the corner posing
Bet your life is something they selling
And if you catch them broken
You can get them all for nothing
Don't make no row!
When the Yankees gone, the Sparrow take over now

Once more!

It's the glamour boys again
We are going to rule Port of Spain
No more Yankees to spoil the fete
Dorothy have to take what she get
All of them who used to make style
Taking two shilling with a smile
No more hotel to rest your head
By the sweat of thy brow thou shall eat bread

Mama yo is:

Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina
Round the corner posing
Bet your life is something they selling
And if you catch them broken
You can get them all for nothing
Don't make no row!
When the Yankees gone, the Sparrow take over now

Take it away!
Once more!
