| Aye, aye, aye
|
| (La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)
|
| Aye, aye, aye
|
| (La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)
|
| Aye, aye, aye
|
| (Aye, aye, aye)
|
| Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
|
| I’m gonna tell you a story
|
| And there’s no moral to be made
|
| But don’t forget when your dancing
|
| That somehow the piper must be paid
|
| Down on the Nile in the southern sea’s
|
| There lives a lassy named Minne Breeze
|
| And all the natives agree that she’s
|
| The hottest thing in Trinidad
|
| When Minne 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 Minne from Trinidad
|
| Aye, aye, aye, they all love Minne from Trinidad
|
| Aye, aye, aye, and all the natives would be so sad
|
| If Minne ever left Trinidad
|
| Although the natives loved Minne so Minne had herself a steady bow
|
| A fellow known as Calypso Joe
|
| And Minnie swore they’d never part
|
| But they stepped in only as they could
|
| Min won a contest for dancing good
|
| So she went away to Hollywood
|
| When Joe heard that, it broke his heart
|
| Aye, aye, aye, they call her Minne from Trinidad
|
| Aye, aye, aye, she wasn’t good but she wasn’t bad
|
| Aye, aye, aye, Calypso Joe was so very sad
|
| When Minne up and left Trinidad
|
| In Hollywood Minne traveled far
|
| They changed her name to Minne Lamar
|
| And pretty soon she became a star
|
| The siren of the picture show
|
| But one day Minne 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 Minne from Trinidad
|
| Aye, aye, aye, in Hollywood Minne met her cad
|
| Aye, aye, aye, but there is only one native lad
|
| Gets chinny with Minne from Trinidad
|
| So Minnie gave up her dough and fame
|
| And she went back to from where she came
|
| But when she got there she heard with shame
|
| That her Calypso Joe was dead
|
| When Minne heard that, she almost died
|
| She took a gun to try suicide
|
| But as she started to shoot
|
| She cried, «I think I’d rather live instead»
|
| Aye, aye, aye, they call her Minne from Trinidad
|
| Aye, aye, aye, she went away and they were so sad
|
| Aye, aye, aye, but now the natives are mighty glad
|
| 'Cause Minne came back to Trinidad
|
| Aye, aye, aye, they call her Minne from Trinidad
|
| Aye, aye, aye, they all love Minne from Trinidad
|
| Aye, aye, aye, and all the natives will be so sad
|
| If Minne, Minne came back to Trinidad
|
| Aye, aye, aye
|
| (Aye, aye, aye)
|
| Aye, aye, aye
|
| (Aye, aye, aye)
|
| Aye, aye, aye
|
| (Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye)
|
| For Minne
|
| (Minne, for Minne, for Minne)
|
| Minne
|
| (Come home you Minne, poor Minne)
|
| Minne, came back to Trinidad |
