By: jimmy buffett<br>1980<br>For the gang at the fish house<br>Tuesday on the island<br>Not much goin' on<br>The parties are all over<br>They ended just past dawn<br><br>The jungle drums are beating<br>With the tales from late last night<br>'cause stories bear repeating<br>For everyone's delight<br><br>Chorus:<br>You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)<br>Can't keep nothin' under their hat<br>You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)<br>Sayin' who did dis and dat<br>Dis and dat, dis and dat<br><br>Now I'm not one to deal in gossip<br>But was he that big a fool<br>To do a belly-buster high dive<br>And miss the entire pool<br><br>And what became of sweet melissa<br>And the boy nobody knew<br>Did ricardo ever find her<br>I swear it's just between me and you<br><br>Chorus:<br>But you can hear it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)<br>By now everybody knows<br>You can hear it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)<br>Just who comes and goes<br>Comes and goes, comes and goes<br><br>La, la la la, la la la<br>La, la la la, la la la<br>La, la la la, (la la la la la la la)<br>La, la la la, (la la la la la la oooooh)<br>Ah!<br><br>It's hump day on the island<br>The lines have all gone dead<br>All the juicy news is history<br>I guess everything's been said<br><br>But when the eagle flies on friday<br>And the boys break out the rum<br>And the joint begins to jumpin'<br>And you'll hear those hot lines hum<br><br>Chorus:<br>Ah, put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)<br>All the celebration and the stress<br>Baby put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)<br>In twenty-five words or less<br><br>I want to hear it on the coconut telgraph (telegraph)<br>All the celebration and the stress<br>Baby put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)<br>In twenty-five words or less<br>Dis and dat, comes and goes<br>Dis and dat, comes and goes
