The Andrews Sisters - Sing A Tropical Song lyrics

On beautiful tropical Trinidad Isle Where Caribbean breezes play The quaint little natives will greet you And smile as they welcome you This way As they welcome you This way Upon the isle I'm from which we come We have a national characteristic Which is very strong Because we put the accent upon a wrong syllable And we sing a tropical song Upon the isle I'm from which we come The point of interest beside the coconuts Is that we put the accent upon the wrong syllable And we sing a tropical song We could show the natural wonders of the scenery To you We could show the native birds & perhaps give two or three To you And describe the climate & also tell the elevation We could very hastily introduce the population We could show you the hotel & the need of places We could take you to the bar & visitors may fall upon their faces If only we had a track we could probably take you to the races But we prefer to accquaint you with the following interesting fact That on the isle I'm on from which we come We have a national characteristic Which is very strong And if you should remain here You will discover one peculiar thing Before very long That you have put the accent upon the wrong syllable And you sing a tropical song And so we say welcome To you
