<br />

Bruder bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime,<br />

His sister had anudder one she paid it for de lime.<br />

She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot' up<br />

She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot' up.<br />

She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot' up<br />

She put de lime in de coconut, she call de doctor, woke 'im up,<br />

Said "doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?"<br />

I said "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache,"<br />

I said "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?"<br />

I said "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache."<br />

Now lemme get this straight,<br />

You put de lime in de coconut, you drank 'em bot' up,<br />

You put de lime in de coconut, you drank 'em bot' up,<br />

You put de lime in de coconut, you drank 'em bot'up,<br />

You put de lime in de coconut, you call your doctor, woke 'im up,<br />

Said " Doctor, ain't there nothing' I can take?"<br />

I said, "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache."<br />

I said "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?'<br />

I said, "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache,"<br />

You put de lime in de coconut, you drink 'em bot' togedder<br />

Put de lime in de coconut and you'll feel better,<br />

Put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em bot' up,<br />

Put de lime in de coconut and call me in the morning."<br />

Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.<br />

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.<br />

Brudder bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime,<br />

His sister had anudder one she paid it for a lime.<br />

She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot' up<br />

She put de lime in de coconut and called de doctor, woke 'im up.<br />

And said, "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?'<br />

I said, "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache."<br />

I said "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?"<br />

I said, "Doctor, now lemme get this straight,<br />

You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em bot'up,<br />

Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em bot' up,<br />

Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em bot' up,<br />

Put the lime in the coconut. You're such a silly woman.<br />

Put a lime in the coconut and drink 'em bot' together<br />

Put the lime in the coconut, then you'll feel better.<br />

Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both down,<br />

Put the lime in your coconut, and call me in the morning,<br />

Woo--ain't there nothin' you can take?<br />

I say, woo--to relieve your belly ache,<br />

You say, well woo--ain't there nothin' I can take?<br />

I said "Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take,"<br />

I said, "Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take,"<br />

I said, "Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take,"<br />

I said, "Doctor you're such a silly woman.<br />

Put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em both together,<br />

Put the lime in the coconut, and you'll feel better,<br />

Put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em bot' up,<br />

Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning.<br />

Yes, you call me in the morning, You call me in the morning,<br />

I'll tell you what to do if you call me in the morning.<br />

I'll tell you what to do if you call me in the morning.<br />

I'll tell you what to do if you call me in the morning.<br />

I'll tell you what to do and if you call me in the morning<br />

I'll tell you what to do.<br />
