Jean and Dinah is a calypso from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean sung by calypsonian 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.

Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clemontina
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
De Yankee gone and Sparrow take over now
