TRINIDAD LADY
Performed by Rita Hayworth
From the film "Affair In Trinidad" (1952)
A chic-a-chic boom chic boom
A chic-a-chic boom chic boom
Announces you're in the room with the Trinidad lady
A chic-a-chic boom chic boom
A chic-a-chic boom chic boom
Your ticker goes boom, boom, boom for the Trinidad lady
It's only that I do what I love and love what I do
Can't help the mad desire that's deep inside of you
You realise the fault isn't mine, that you are to blame
You want what you can't have and you're all the same
A chic-a-chic boom chic boom
A chic-a-chic boom chic boom
It's dangerous to presume with the Trinidad lady
So chalk up one more escapade you never had
De one you dreamed up wid de lady from Trinidad.
It's only that I do what I love and love what I do
Can't help the mad desire that's deep inside of you
You realise the fault isn't mine, that you are to blame
You want what you can't have and you're all the same
A chic-a-chic boom chic boom
A chic-a-chic boom chic boom
It's the Trinidad lady!

A Note From The Gull
With Rita Hayworth's "Trinidad Lady" I begin to collect songs that includes a reference to Trinidad and Tobago. These items will be listed in the Index to Miscellanea.
"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.
Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
Mweh ka allay!
