"Lime In The Coconut" lyrics

Lime In The 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 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 nothing I can take?"
I said "Doctor
To relieve this bellyache?"
I said "Doctor
Ain't there nothing I can take?"
I said "Doctor
To relieve this bellyache?"

"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 drank them both up
Put the lime in the coconut
You called your doctor
Woke him up"

Said, "Doctor
Ain't there nothing I can take?"
I said, "Doctor
To relieve this bellyache?"
I said, "Doctor
Ain't there nothing I can take?"
I said, "Doctor
To relieve this bellyache?"

"You put the lime in the coconut
You drink them both together
You put the lime in the coconut
Then you feel better
You put the lime in the coconut
And drink them both up
You 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

Doctor
Doctor
Doctor
Doctor
Tell me it's not true

"You put the lime in the coconut
You drink them both up
You put the lime in the coconut
You drink them both up
You put the lime in the coconut
You drink them both up
You put the lime in the coconut
You're such a silly woman

You put the lime in the coconut
You drink them both together
You put the lime in the coconut
Then you feel better
You put the lime in the coconut
And drink them both down
You put the lime in the coconut
And call me in the morning"

"Doctor
Ain't there nothing I can take?
Doctor
To relieve this bellyache?"
I said, "Doctor
Ain't there nothing I can take?"
I said, "Doctor
To relieve this bellyache?"

I said, "Doctor
Ain't there nothing I can take?"
I said, "Doctor
To relieve this bellyache?"
I said "Doctor
Ain't there nothing I can take?"
I said "Doctor"
"You're such a silly woman

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
And drink them both up
You put the lime in the coconut
And call me in the morning

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

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"
