Mighty Sparrow Jean & Dinah Lyrics

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 just 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

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 broken
You can get it all for nothing
Don't make a 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
Go in to get one drink or two
And as we have things back in control
Ah seeking revenge with meh heart and soul
Brother when ah spread the news around
Is to see them cavemen come to 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 a 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 Yankee to spoil the fête
Dorothy have to take what she get
All of them used to make style
When they 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 a row!
Yankees gone, the Sparrow take over now

Take it away!
That's right, once more!
