Rum & Coca-Cola

The Andrews Sisters Rum & Coca-Cola歌詞
1.Rum and Coca-Cola

作詞:Morey Amsterdam, Paul Baron, Jeri Sullavan

If you ever go down Trinidad
They make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one real good fine time

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Oh, beat it man, beat it

Since the Yankee come to Trinidad
They got the young girls all goin' mad
Young girls say they treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Oh, you vex me, vex me

From Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle
Native girls all dance and smile
Help soldier celebrate his leave
Make every day like New Year's Eve

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
It's a fact, man, it's a fact

In old Trinidad, I also fear
The situation is mighty queer
Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon
When she hear Der Bingo croon

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Out on Manzanella Beach
G.I. romance with native peach
All night long, make tropic love
Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
It's a fact, man, it's a fact

Rum and Coca-Cola
Rum and Coca-Cola
Workin' for the Yankee dollar


2.Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny Oh!

作詞:Abe Olman, Ed Rose

Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny, how you can love?
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny, Heaven's above
You make my sad heart jump with joy
And when you're near, I just can't sit still a minute

I'm so, oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny, please tell me, dear
What makes me love you so?
You're not handsome, it's true but when I look at you
I just, oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny, oh, da, da, da

All the girls are crazy about a certain little lad
Although he's very very bad, he could be oh so good when he
wanted to
Bad or good he understood about love and other things
For every girl in town followed him around just to hold his hand
and sing

Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny, Johnny, how you can love?
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny, Johnny, Heaven's above, way above
You make my sad heart jump with joy
And when you're near, I just can't sit still another minute

Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny, Johnny, please tell me, dear
What makes me love you so?
You're not handsome, it is true but when I look at you
I just, oh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, my, da, da, da

Johnny, oh, Johnny, oh
Johnny, oh, Johnny, oh
Johnny, oh, Johnny, oh
Johnny, oh, Johnny, oh

Oh, Johnny, please tell me, dear
What makes me love you so?
You're not handsome it is true but when I look at you
I just, oh, Johnny


3.Let's Have Another One

作詞:Hughie Prince, Don Raye

Down on the corner
There's a place we meet each night
There's singing and dancing
Lots of romancing

Everyone's happy
Only good fellows there
When we get together
Say, the weather's always fair

Hail, hail, hail, the gang's all here
Hail, hail, hail, good health, good cheer
Sing and laugh your cares away
And when it's time to say goodnight
Someone is bound to say

Let's have another one
Before you leave me
We're having so much fun
Parting will grieve me
There goes the band again

Everything's right
Dancing is so much fun
Let's have another one
Before we say goodnight

Down on the corner
There's a place we meet each night
There's singing, shouting and dancing
And Lots of romancing

Everyone's so happy
Only very good fellows there
When we get together
Say the weather's always fair

Hail, hail, hail, hail, the good old gang is here
Let's all hail, hail, hail, very good health and very good cheer
We can sing and dance, sing and dance your cares away
And when it's time to say goodnight, someone is bound to say

Dang, dang, dang, dang
Dang, dang, da, da, la, da, day, day

Let's you and I have another one
Let's have another before we say goodnight
Goodnight, sweetheart, parting can be so much fun
Let's you and I have another one before we can say goodnight

Goodnight ladies, goodnight fellows
Goodnight everyone, we've all had a lot of fun
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight good fellows
Till we meet again, we, we can have another dance


4.Lullabye Of Broadway

Come on along and listen to, the lullaby of Broadway
The hip hooray and ballyhoo, the lullaby of Broadway
The rumble of a subway train, the rattle of the taxis
The daffydils who entertain, at Angelo's and Maxi's
When a Broadway baby says good night, it's early in the morning
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight until the dawn:

Good night, baby
Good night, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day. Hey!

Come on along and listen to, the lullaby of Broadway
The hi-dee-hi and boop-a-doo, the lullaby of Broadway
The band begins to go to town, and everyone goes crazy
You rock-a-bye your baby round, 'til everything gets hazy
Hush-a-bye I'll buy you this and that, you hear a daddy saying
And baby goes home to her flat, to sleep all day:

Good night, baby
Good night, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight,
Let's call it a day - - -
Listen to the lullaby of old Broadway


5.Just a Simple Melody

You're just a simple melody
Designed to haunt your memory
It's bound to get you instantly

It sneaks up on you unaware
Before you even know it's there
You're swaying to it's catchy air

Dancing with your favourite thrill
He will hold you closer still
And suddenly you both agree
That dancing can be heavenly
You're just a simple melody

It's just a simple thing
And it starts with a major swing
It's a tune that'll make you sing
And sing and sing and sing
First the southpaw flow
Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo
Then it starts to go
Tah-dah-rah-dah, deh-dah-dah-lad-lah-dah-dah
Rocks you to-and-fro
Dah-dah-deh-dah-dah, dee-dah-dah-lah-dah

You know this melody is always haunting me
It delights you, it excites you
This melody will never let me be

It sneaks up on you unaware
Before you even know it's there
They're playing, you're swaying

It's just a simple melody
Designed to haunt your memory
It's bound to get you instantly
Dah-hah, dah-hah-hah, doo-duh-dah-doo-lah-hah

It sneaks up on you unaware
Before you even know that it's there
You're swaying to it's catchy air

Dancing with your favourite thrill
He will hold you closer still
Trumpets ring, then let's sing
Rhythm swing
De-do-de-do-de-do-de
It's just a simple melody
