- Down on an island in the Southern Seas,
- There lives a lassie named Minnie Breeze;
- And all the natives agree that she's
- The hottest thing in Trinidad!
- When Minnie 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 Minnie from Trinidad,
- Aye aye aye, they all love Minnie from Trinidad,
- Aye aye aye, and all the natives would be so sad
- If Minnie ever left Trinidad!
- Although the natives love Minnie so,
- Minnie had herself a steady beau;
- A fellow known as Calypso Joe,
- And Minnie swore they'd never part!
- But fate stepped in only as fate could,
- Min won a contest for dancing good,
- So she went away to Hollywood;
- When Joe heard that it broke his heart!
- In Hollywood Minnie traveled far,
- They changed her name to Minnie La Mar,
- And pretty soon she became a star,
- The siren of the picture show!
- But one day Minnie 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 Minnie from Trinidad,
- Aye aye aye, in Hollywood Minnie met a cad;
- Aye aye aye, but there is only one native lad
- Gets chinny with Minnie from Trinidad!
- So Minnie gave up her dough and fame,
- And she went back to from where she came;
- And when she got there she heard with shame
- That her Calypso Jo was dead!
- When she heard that, she almost died,
- She got a gun to try suicide!
- But as she started to shoot, she cried,
- "I think I'd rather live instead!".
- But now the natives are mighty glad,
- 'Cause Minnie came back to Trinidad!
- Aye aye aye aye,
- Aye aye aye aye aye aye aye,
- Aye aye!
- Aye aye!
