Coconut
Every day, down by
the water, a girl leaves her bamboo hut
Climbing up a ladder to a palm tree for a coconut
Oh--coconut
Oh--coconut
So I went a little
bit closer, looking up the tree
And I asked if she would be willing to pick one for me
Oh--coconut
Oh--coconut
Well, she said that
I was a bad boy
And don't give me bother
And that she was only allowed to
Pick for her father
Oh--coconut
Oh--coconut
But next day, I was
a lot wiser, I went up the tree
And after she had climbed up the ladder,
I kicked it down you see!
Oh--coconut
Oh--coconut
Oh--coconut
Oh--coconut
