Atilla the Hun – Here, Now and Long Ago Lyrics
Artist: Atilla the Hun
Song: Here, Now and Long Ago
How different is the island we know
To the Trinidad of the long ago
How different is the island we know
To the Trinidad of the long ago
She’s really the dame of the Antilles
And the queen of the West Indies
With motorcars running up and down
Trinidad ‘coming like a New York town
The island has changed up in different ways
To the Trinidad of the bygone days
Buildings have sprung up all around
We’ve got a clean and beautiful town
And by visitors we are told
Our streets as good as any in the whole wide world
With motorcars running up and down
Trinidad ‘coming like a New York town
Long ago to reach Manzanilla Shore
It used to take us a week or more
Now with the distance twice as far
It take a couple of hours in a motorcar
Today we have electric lights in the home
Refrigerators, radios, and telephones
With motorcars running up and down
Trinidad ‘coming like a New York town
The south has changed up entirely
San Fernando’s a beautiful town to see
Point {?} which was lost in obscurity
Now possesses a giant oil refinery
{?} which presented an awful sight
Is now recognized as the tourists’ delight
With motorcars running up and down
Trinidad ‘coming like a New York town
To see the change we are proud and glad
That has taken place in Trinidad
{?} which we must now mention
{?} Trinidad guardian
Then it’s a fact which was once a dream
They started work on the harbor scheme
With motorcars running up and down
Trinidad ‘coming like a New York town
