Put The Lime In The Coconut

Brother bought a coconut
He bought it for the 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 drank them both up
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 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 let me get this straight
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, you drank them 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 said: Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I said: Doctor (doctor), ain't there nothin' I can take?
I said: Doctor (doctor), to relieve this belly ache?
You put the lime in the coconut, you drink them both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
Brother bought a coconut
He bought it for the dime
His sister had another one
She paid it for the lime
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them 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 said: Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I said: Doctor ain't there nothin' 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
Throw a lime in the coconut, you drink them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you such a silly woman
Put a lime in the coconut, and drink them both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both down
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
Ooh, ain't there nothin' you can take
I say oh, to relieve your belly ache
You say: oh, oh, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say: oh, oh to relieve your belly ache
You say yah, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say wow, wow, to relieve this belly ache
I say doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say doctor, you such a silly woman
Put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you 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
Yes, you call 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
Well, if you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
