Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one, she paid it for a 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 nothin' I can take
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"
"Now let me get this straigh "
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
And say, 'Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor, doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say, Doctor, dooooctor, to relieve this belly ache?
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
Wouh wouh wouh wouh wouh
