Jean and Dinah - Mighty Sparrow

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 just how they could

Brother is now they park up in town

In for a penny, and in for a pound

And it’s competition for so

Trouble in the town when the price drop low

So Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina,

Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling

And if you find them broken you can get it 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

Want to get just one drink or two

And as we have things back in control

Ah seeking revenge with me heart and soul

No more hotel to rest your head

By the sweat of thy brow thou shall eat bread

So Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina,

Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling

And if you find them broken you can get it all for nothing

Don’t make no row, when the yankees gone, the Sparrow take over now

When the Yankee was in full swing

Just imagine how Calypsonian 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

With the Yankees you have it cool

Calypsonians too hard to fool

So Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina,

Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling

And if you find them broken you can get it all for nothing

Don’t make no row, the yankees gone, Sparrow take over now

We reach 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 gets

Since the natives are back in control

Ah seeking revenge with me heart and soul

No more hotel to rest your head

By the sweat of thy brow thou shall eat bread

So Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina,

Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling

And if you find them broken you can get it all for nothing

Don’t make no…
