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 you're dancing
That somehow the piper must be paid
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 loved Minnie so
Minnie had herself a steady bow
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
Aye, aye, aye
They call her Minnie from Trinidad
Aye, aye, aye
She wasn't good but she wasn't bad
Aye, aye, aye
Calypso Joe was so very sad
When Minnie up and left Trinidad
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
But when she got there she heard with shame
That her Calypso Joe was dead
When Minnie 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 Minnie from Trinidad
Aye, aye, aye
She went away and they were so sad
Aye, aye, aye
But now the natives are mighty glad
'Cause Minnie came back to Trinidad
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 will be so glad
If Minnie, Minnie came back to Trinidad
