Jean and Dinah is a Calypso song from Trinidad and Tobago in the Carribean sung by calypso artist Mighty Sparrow and became an international hit in 1956. This calypso, Sparrow's first hit, celebrated the increased availability of prostitutes following the closure of several American military bases in Trinidad following the ends of World War II.

Round de corner posin'

Bet your life is something dey sellin'

But when you catch them broken [="broke"] you could get dem all for nuttin'

Doh make no row
