Minne From Trinidad

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
