| Down on an island in the Southern Seas,
|
| There lives a lassie named Minnie Breeze;
|
| And all the natives agree that she’s
|
| The hottest thing in Trinidad!
|
| When Minnie dances, I guarantee
|
| With every move of her vertebrae
|
| The temperature jump up ten degree!
|
| In Trinidad that isn’t bad!
|
| Aye aye aye, they call her Minnie from Trinidad,
|
| Aye aye aye, they all love Minnie from Trinidad,
|
| Aye aye aye, and all the natives would be so sad
|
| If Minnie ever left Trinidad!
|
| Although the natives love Minnie so,
|
| Minnie had herself a steady beau;
|
| A fellow known as Calypso Joe,
|
| And Minnie swore they’d never part!
|
| But fate stepped in only as fate could,
|
| Min won a contest for dancing good,
|
| So she went away to Hollywood;
|
| When Joe heard that it broke his heart!
|
| In Hollywood Minnie traveled far,
|
| They changed her name to Minnie La Mar,
|
| And pretty soon she became a star,
|
| The siren of the picture show!
|
| But one day Minnie got awful mad,
|
| a guy got fresh and she said, «You cad!
|
| My heart belongs to my Trinidad,
|
| My Trinidad Calypso Joe».
|
| Aye aye aye, they call her Minnie from Trinidad,
|
| Aye aye aye, in Hollywood Minnie met a cad;
|
| Aye aye aye, but there is only one native lad
|
| Gets chinny with Minnie from Trinidad!
|
| So Minnie gave up her dough and fame,
|
| And she went back to from where she came;
|
| And when she got there she heard with shame
|
| That her Calypso Jo was dead!
|
| When she heard that, she almost died,
|
| She got a gun to try suicide!
|
| But as she started to shoot, she cried,
|
| «I think I’d rather live instead!».
|
| But now the natives are mighty glad,
|
| 'Cause Minnie came back to Trinidad!
|
| Aye aye aye aye,
|
| Aye aye aye aye aye aye aye,
|
| Aye aye!
|
| Aye aye! |
