Rum en Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola, samen met Pepsi symbool van het VS-imperialisme bij uitstek. Maar ja, moet je net de geachte afgevaardigde Wilders hebben.
Hier het lied door de man die het geschreven heeft en die er zo goed als geen cent voor gezien heeft, want dat hoort er ook bij. Calypsozanger Rupert Grant, alias Lord Invader. Hij zingt Coco-Cola, om gezeik over het merk te voorkomen.

And when the Yankees first went to Trinidad
Some of the young girls were more than glad
They said that the Yankees treat them nice
And they give them a better price
They buy
Rum and Coco-Cola
Going down Point Cumana
Both mothers and daughters
Working for their Yankee dollars

Ah, look, I had a little chicken the other day
But her mother came and took her away
Herself, her mother and her sisters
Went in a cab with some soldiers
They bought
Rum and Coco-Cola
Going down Point Cumana
Both mothers and daughters
Working for their Yankee dollars

They have some aristos in Port of Spain
I know a lot, but I won’t call name
And in the day they wouldn’t give you a right
But you could see them with the foreigners late at night
Drinking
Rum and Coco-Cola
Going down Point Cumana
Both mothers and daughters
Working for their Yankee dollars

I know a couple who got married one afternoon
And went to go Miami on their honeymoon
But the bride ran away with a soldier lad
And the stupid husband went staring mad
They bought:
Rum and Coco-Cola
Going down Point Cumana
Both mothers and daughters
Working for their Yankee dollars
