Jean And Dinah -mighty Sparrow Lyrics

Mighty Sparrow 

Jean and Dinah 

Well the girls in town feeling
bad

No more Yankees in Trinidad 

They going to close down the base
for good

Them girls have to make out how they could

Brother is now
they park up in town

In for a penny, and in for a pound

Believe me
it's competition for so

Trouble in the town when the price drop low



Chorus:



So when you bounce up Jean and Dinah

Rosita and Clementina, round the corner posing

Bet your life is
something they selling 

And if you catch them

You can get em all
for nothing 

Don't make no row, the yankees gone, Sparrow take over now




Things bad is to hear them cry 

Not a sailor in town, the
night clubs dry 

Only West Indians like me or you 

Are able to get
a drink or two 

And as we have things back in control 

Ah seeking
revenge with me heart and soul 

Brother when I spread the news around 

Is to see how them cave men come into town 



(This verse is
sometimes omitted) 

When the Yankee was in full swing 

Just imagine
how I was suffering 

Mavis told me straight to me face 

How she find
I too fast and out of place 

No, no, no, they would start to fret 

Money or not poor Sparrow can't get 

Because with the Yankees they
have it cool 

Calypsonians too hard to fool 



It's the
glamour boys again

We are going to rule Port of Spain

No more
Yankees to spoil the fete

Dorothy have to take what she get

All of
them who used to make style

While they taking two shillling with a
smile

No more hotel to rest your head

By the sweat of thy brow thou
shall eat bread
