You Put De Lime In De Coconut!
Harry Nilsson had a big novelty hit with this one. Definitely in the vein of fun, summery music. I love this song!


Brudder bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had anudder one she paid it for de lime
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot' up
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot' up
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot' up
She put de lime in de coconut, she call de doctor, woke 'im up
Said 'Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?'
I said 'Doctor, to relieve this belly ache'
I said 'Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?'
I said 'Doctor, to relieve this belly ache'
Now lemme get this straight
You put de lime in de coconut, you drank 'em bot' up
You put de lime in de coconut, you drank 'em bot' up
You put de lime in de coconut, you drank 'em bot' up
You put de lime in de coconut, you call your doctor, woke 'im up
Said 'Doctor, ain't there nothing' I can take?'
I said, 'Doctor, to relieve this belly ache'
I said 'Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?'
I said, 'Doctor, to relieve this belly ache'
You put de lime in de coconut, you drink 'em bot' togedder
Put de lime in de coconut and you'll feel better
Put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em bot' up
Put de lime in de coconut and call me in the morning
Woo ooh...
Ooh ooh ooh...

3. LOL! Actually, I'd recycle the can instead of throwing it away...
But the idea is sound in theory!
