The Andrews Sisters' recording of 'Rum & Coca Cola'. A song about alcohol and... prostitution? I'm sure it's all very innocent... ;-)
Lyrics:
If you ever go down Trinidad They make you feel so very glad Calypso sing and make up rhyme Guarantee you one real good fine time
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Cumana Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Oh, beat it man, beat it
If a Yankee comes to Trinidad They got the young girls all goin' mad Young girls say they treat 'em nice Make Trinidad like paradise
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Cumana Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Oh, you vex me, you vex me
From Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle Native girls all dance and smile Help soldier celebrate his leave Makes every day like New Year's Eve
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Cumana Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar
It's a fact, man, it's a fact
In old Trinidad, I also fear The situation is mighty queer Like the Yankee girls, the natives swoon When she hear der Bingle croon
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Cumana Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Out on Manzanella Beach G.I. romance with native peach All night long, make tropic love The next day, sit in hot sun and cool off
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Cumana Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Oh it's a fact, man, it's a fact
Rum and Coca-Cola Rum and Coca-Cola Workin' for the Yankee dollar

They didn't write the lyrics. They no doubt were told by the studio that they were singing the song, and had no choice if they wanted a contract. Rosemary Clooney talks about the same thing when she sang the risque song "Come On A My House."
