"A reader from Berkeley, California pointed out that the site did not contain a transcription of Lord Invader’s original version of 'Rum and Coca-Cola'. So here it is, below on the left. The text is scanned directly from the page of the famous booklet, 'Victory Calypsoes - 1943'. It is as close as we can come to the version of the song as performed by Invader in Trinidad in 1943. On the right is the Andrews Sisters’ version which was recorded in New York City on October 18, 1944."
