Paroles de Mango, Coconut, Sugar Cane

If you ever take a vacationThere's a place that's quite a sensationYes we call it TrinidadLord it almost drove me madFrom the time I 'wake in the morningI could tell a great day was dawningHear a vender in the streetSelling juicy things to eatIt was Mango, coconut, sugar caneLord me belly in painI said Mango, coconut, sugar caneDriving me insaneIn the market place I went walkingEverybody laughing and talkingWhere you barging for a prizeAnd you wind up paying piesWhen I shopped around for some punchySmelling all the food I went hungryHad a taste for something sweetSo I stop awhile to eatWalking down the beach really lazyWomen start to driving me crazySo I jump into the seaThought that was the place to beWhile I'm swimming round in the oceanSaw a woman's body in motionThen and there I make me planTook the woman by she handIn the evening we went out dancingHeld her close and started romancingListen to the steel band playBing bong till the break of dayDrinking rum that night I got naughtyShe said Harry not till we merryNow I pass me life's completeEvery night I get the treat
