Coconut

Harry Nilsson

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one, she paid for the lime
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em both up
Put a lime in the coconut, she drank 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em both up
Put the line in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up

Said, "Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take?
Oh, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?"
I said, "Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take
Oh, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?"

Now let me get this straight

You put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em both up
Put a lime in the coconut, you drank 'em both up
Lime and coconut, drank 'em up
You put a lime in the coconut, you called the doctor, woke him up

Said, "Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take?
Oh, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?"
I said, "Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?"

You put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, yeah, you'll feel better
Lime and coconut, drink 'em down
You put a lime in the , and call me in the morning

[Instrumental break]

Oh, brother, bought a coconut he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one she paid it for the lime
She put a lime in the coconut she drank 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut she called the doctor, woke him up

Said, "Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take?
Oh, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?
Oh, Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take?"
I said, "Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?"

You put the line in the coconut and drink 'em both together
Put a lime in the coconut, yeah, you'll feel better
Lime and coconut, swallow 'em whole
Put the lime in the coconut
You're such a silly woman!

Oh, ain't there nothing I can take
I said, oh, to relieve this bellyache
Oh, ain't there nothing I can take
Oh, get rid of this ache!
Oh, Doctor!
Doctor, Doctor!
Oh, Doctor what can I take?

You put the lime in the coconut, yeah, you'll feel better
Lime and coconut, call me in the morning

Call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
Call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
Call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
Call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do

Do-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-octor
Do-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-octor

Call me in the morning
Call me in the morning
Call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
