Here, Now and Long Ago Lyrics by Atilla the Hun

Treasury Scandal

1950

[Intro: Atilla the Hun & Lord Beginner]
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
[Verse 1: Atilla the Hun & Lord Beginner]
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
[Verse 2: Lord Beginner]
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
[Verse 3: Atilla the Hun]
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
[Verse 4: Lord Beginner]
The south has changed up entirely
San Fernando's a beautiful town to see
Pointe-à-Pierre 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
[Verse 5: Atilla the Hun]
To see the change we are proud and glad
That has taken place in Trinidad
[?] which we must now mention
Is none other than the 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
