Lyrics

coconuts

don't sit under the coconut tree
when a strong wind blows in off of the sea
ain't no place for you to be
so don't sit under the coconut tree

the coconut palm is a beautiful tree
swaying in the breeze down by the sea
the beach is the place that you want to be but
don't sit beneath the coconut
don't sit beneath the coconut

the coconut tree has a mighty big fruit
hit the ground harder than a cannonball shoot
make for the shade it's a good idea but
don't sit beneath the coconut
don't sit beneath the coconut

don't sit under the coconut tree....

the green coconut make a mighty good snack
hold it like this machete chop it like that
get a straw drink the milk when it's finished eat the meat
tell me who invented such a treat
yeah the coconut can't be beat

we walk down the shore to the coconut hut
drink pina colada right in the coconut
sit and relax and watch the world go by
till the moon rise in the sky
see you later never say goodbye

don't sit under the coconut tree.....

the coconut palm is a beautiful tree
swaying in the breeze down by the sea
i'm not one to preach but for once i'll tell you what
don't sit beneath the coconut
don't sit beneath the coconut

don't sit under the coconut tree.....
