Mango, Coconut, Sugar Cane - Harry Belafonte

If you ever take a vacation

There’s a place that’s quite a sensation

Yes we call it Trinidad

Lord it almost drove me mad

From the time I 'wake in the morning

I could tell a great day was dawning

Hear a vender in the street

Selling juicy things to eat

It was Mango, coconut, sugar cane

Lord me belly in pain

I said Mango, coconut, sugar cane

Driving me insane

In the market place I went walking

Everybody laughing and talking

Where you barging for a prize

And you wind up paying pies

When I shopped around for some punchy

Smelling all the food I went hungry

Had a taste for something sweet

So I stop awhile to eat

Walking down the beach really lazy

Women start to driving me crazy

So I jump into the sea

Thought that was the place to be

While I’m swimming round in the ocean

Saw a woman’s body in motion

Then and there I make me plan

Took the woman by she hand

In the evening we went out dancing

Held her close and started romancing

Listen to the steel band play

Bing bong till the break of day

Drinking rum that night I got naughty

She said Harry not till we merry

Now I pass me life’s complete

Every night I get the treat
