Coconut Lyrics

I like coconuts

You can break them open

They smell like ladies lying in the sun

I like coconuts

You can break them open

They smell like ladies lying in the sun

And if I had my way

I'd give a coconut to everyone


I got a friend named Jack

Look like a bone in a paper sack

That's my friend Jack

C'mon Jack, smell these coconuts

There's enough for everyone

Jackie likes the smell of cut grass

He used to play ball on Saturdays

Playing in the sun

Jackie likes the smell of cut grass

He used to play ball on Saturdays

Playing in the sun

If Jackie had his way

He'd give some cut grass to everyone.


It's time to play

Never tasted such a sweet thing

Yesterdays

Sweet memories my heart's repeating

Time today

Everybody's heart is beating

Everybody's smile is greeting

Everybody's soul is heating (eating?)


I know a guy named Fred

Look like a bone in a slanted shed

That's my friend Fred

C'mon Fred, smell these coconuts

There's enough for everyone

Freddy likes the sound of cold drink

He used to pop tops on Saturday

Sipping in the sun

Freddy likes the sound of cold drink

He used to pop tops on Saturday

He was sipping in the sun

And if Freddy had his way

He'd give a cold drink to everyone


Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows

Nobody knows like I know my nose knows

Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows

Nobody knows like I know my nose knows

Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows

Nobody knows like I know my nose knows

Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows

Nobody knows like I know my nose knows


I like coconuts

You can break them open

And they smell like ladies lying in the sun
