VERSE 1:
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 drankem both up [3x]
She put the lime in the coconut
She called the doctor, woke him up, and said
CHORUS A:
Doctor - ain’t there nothin I can take, I said
Doctor - to relieve this bellyache, I said
Doctor - ain’t there nothin I can take, I said
Doctor - to relieve this bellyache

Now let me get this straight, you
Put the lime in the coconut, you drankem both up [3x]
Put the lime in the coconut
You called your doctor, woke him up, and said

VERSE 3:
Put the lime in the coconut, you drinkem both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better

Oo-oo-oo oo-oo oo-oo-oo
