Mango, Coconut, Sugar Cane Lyrics - Calypso Carnival/the Warm Touch - Harry Belafonte

If you ever take a vacation 

There's a place that's quite a sensation 

Yes we call it Trinidad 

Lord it almost drove me mad 

From the time I 'wake in the morning 

I could tell a great day was dawning 

Hear a vender in the street 

Selling juicy things to eat 

It was Mango, coconut, sugar cane 

Lord me belly in pain 

I said Mango, coconut, sugar cane 

Driving me insane

In the market place I went walking 

Everybody laughing and talking 

Where you barging for a prize 

And you wind up paying pies 

When I shopped around for some punchy 

Smelling all the food I went hungry 

Had a taste for something sweet 

So I stop awhile to eat 

Walking down the beach really lazy 

Women start to driving me crazy 

So I jump into the sea 

Thought that was the place to be 

While I'm swimming round in the ocean 

Saw a woman's body in motion 

Then and there I make me plan 

Took the woman by she hand 

Photos 

In the evening we went out dancing 

Held her close and started romancing 

Listen to the steel band play 

Bing bong till the break of day 

Drinking rum that night I got naughty 

She said Harry not till we merry 

Now I pass me life's complete 

Every night I get the treat
