Mighty sparrow
Jean and dinah
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 is now they park up in town
In for a penny and in for a pound
Believe me it's competition for so
Trouble in the town when the price drop low

Chorus:

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
You can get em all for nothing
Don't make no row the yankees gone sparrow take over now

Things bad is to hear them cry
Not a sailor in town the night clubs dry
Only west indians like me or you
Are able to get a drink or two
And as we have things back in control
Ah seeking revenge with me heart and soul
Brother when i spread the news around
Is to see how them cave men come into town

(this verse is sometimes omitted)
When the yankee was in full swing
Just imagine how i was suffering
Mavis told me straight to me face
How she find i too fast and out of place
No no no they would start to fret
Money or not poor sparrow can't get
Because with the yankees they have it cool
Calypsonians too hard to fool

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
While they taking two shillling with a smile
No more hotel to rest your head
By the sweat of thy brow thou shall eat bread
