Lyrics

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 ’em bot’ up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank ’em bot’ up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank ’em bot’ up
She put the lime in the coconut, she call the doctor, woke ‘im up

And said “doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take?”
I said “doctor, to relieve this belly ache”
I said “doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take?”
I said “doctor, to relieve this belly ache”

Now lemme get this straight
You put the lime in the coconut, you drink ’em bot’ up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink ’em bot’ up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink ’em bot’up
Put the lime in the coconut, you call your doctor, woke ‘im up

Said “doctor, ain’t there nothing’ I can take?”
I said “doctor, to relieve this belly ache”
I said “doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take?’
I said “doctor, to relieve this belly ache”

Lime in the coconut, you drink ’em bot’ together
Put the lime in the coconut and you’ll feel better
Put the lime in the coconut and drink ’em bot’ up
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 a lime
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank ’em bot’ up
She put the lime in the coconut, called the doctor, woke ‘im up

Doctor
Doctor
Doctor
Doctor, tell me it’s not true

Put the lime in the coconut, you drink ’em bot’ up
You put the lime in the coconut, you drink ’em bot’ up
You put lime in the coconut, you drink ’em bot’ up
You put the lime in the coconut, you’re such a silly woman

Put the lime in the coconut, you drink ’em bot’ together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you’ll feel better
Put lime in the coconut, you drink ’em both down
Put the lime in your coconut, and call me in the morning

“Doctor, ain’t there nothing’ I can take?
I said “doctor, to relieve this belly ache”
I said “doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take?’
I said “doctor, to relieve this belly ache”

“Doctor, ain’t there nothing’ I can take?
I said “doctor, to relieve this belly ache”
I said “doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take?’
I said “doctor, you’re such a silly woman”

Put the lime in the coconut and drink ’em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you’ll feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink ’em bot’ up
You put the lime in the coconut and call me in the mou-ou-ou-ou-ourning

You call me in the morning, I tell you what to do (call me in the morning)
You call me in the morning, I tell you what to do (call me in the morning)
You call me in the morning, I tell you what to do (call me in the morning)
You call me in the morning, I tell you what to do (call me in the morning)
You call me in the morning, I tell you what to do (call me in the morning)
You call me in the morning, I tell you what to do (call me in the morning)
You call me in the morning, I tell you what to do (call me in the morning)
You call me in the morning, I tell you what to do (call me in the morning)
You call me in the morning
