Lyrics

Put The Lime In The Coconut

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Brother bought a coconut

He bought it for a dime.

His sister had another one

She trade it for the lime.

She put the lime in the coconut

she drank them both up.

x3

she put the lime in the coconut

she called the doctor, woke him up, and said

"Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take"

I said, "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"

I said, "Doctor ain't there nothing I can take"

I said, "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"

Now let me get this straight;

You put the lime in the coconut

You drank them both up

You put the lime in the coconut,

You drank them both up

put the lime in the coconut,

you drank them both up

put the lime in the coconut,

called your doctor, woke him up, and 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 the lime in the coconut, you drink them both together,

put the lime in the cocount, then you'll feel better.

Put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both up,

Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning."

Brother bought a coconut

He bought it for a dime.

His sister had another one

She paid it for the lime.

She put the lime in the coconut

she drank them both up.

she put the lime in the coconut

She called the doctor, woke him up, and said

"Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take"

I said, "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"

I said, "Doctor ain't there nothing I can take"

I said, "Doctor"

Now let me get this straight;

You put the lime in the coconut

You drank them both up

put the lime in the coconut,

You drink them both up

put the lime in the coconut,

you drink them both up

put the lime in the coconut,

put a lime in the coconut,

and drink them both together,

put the lime in the coconut,

then you'll feel better.

drink them both down,

put the lime in the coconut,

and call me in the morning

Ooh, ain't there nothing you can take

I said oooh to relieve your belly ache

You say all oooh ain't there nothing i can take

I said oooh to relieve your belly ache
