lirik lagu robert mitchum - jean and dinah
[verse 1]
well, the girls in town feelin’ bad
there no more yankees in trinidad
they goin’ to close down the base for good
them girls have to make out how they could
now you see them dance up in town
dance for a penny, not for a pound
yes, it’s competition for so
trouble in the town when the price drop low
[chorus]
bouncin’ up with jean and dinah
rosita and clementina
round the dance floor posin’
bet your life that somethin’ is cookin’
and if you catch them broken
you could jump with them for nothin’
don’t make no row
yankees gone, the west indians take over now
[verse 2]
things is bad is to hear thеm cry
not a sailor in town, the night clubs dry
only west indians like mе or you
gone to get a drink or two
since we have things back in control
i’m seeking revenge with me heart and soul
and as we spread the news around
is to see how them cavemen floatin’ in town
[chorus]
bouncin’ up with jean and dinah
rosita and clementina
by the dance floor posin’
bet your life that somethin’ is cookin’
and if you catch them broken
you could jump with them for nothin’
don’t make no row
yankees gone, the west indians take over now
[verse 3]
when the yankees was in full swing
just imagine how i was suffering
dinah tell me straight to me face
how she find i too fast and out of pace
“no, no, no,” they would start to fret
“money or not, west indians can’t get”
’cause with the yankees, they have it cool
calypsonians too hard to fool
[chorus]
jumpin’ up with jean and dinah
rosita and clementina
round the dance floor posin’
bet your life that somethin’ is cookin’
and if you catch them broken
you could jump with them for nothin’
don’t make no row
yankees gone, the west indians take over now
[verse 4]
it’s the glamour boys again
we going to rule in port of spain
no more yankees to spoil the fête
dorothy have to take what she get
all of them who used to make style
makin’ a dollar or so a smile
no more dollar, west indians have said
by the sweat of thy brow thou shall eat bread
[chorus]
bouncin’ up with jean and dinah
rosita and clementina
round the dance floor posin’
bet your life that somethin’ is cookin’
and if you catch them broken
you could jump with them for nothin’
don’t make no row
yankees gone, the west indians take over
yankees gone, the west indians take over
yankees gone, the west indians take over now
