Coconut

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 'em both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up
And said "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?
I say, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?
Now let me get this straight
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you called your doctor, woke him up
And said, "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?
I say, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, dooooctor, to relieve this bellyache?"
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both down
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
Wouh wouh wouh wouh wouh....
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 'em both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up
And said "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?
I say, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, doctor, doctor, dooooooc!
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both down
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
Woo-oo, ain't there nothin' you can take, I said
Woo-oo, to relieve your bellyache, you said
Woo-oo, ain't there nothin' you can take, I said
Woo-oo, to relieve your bellyache, you say
And said "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?
I say, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, you're such a silly woman!
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both down
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the moo-o-oorning
Yes, you call me in the morning
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do
You're such a silly woman
Ain't there nothin' you can take
