Coconut
—Harry Nilsson

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 both up

(3x) Put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up, and said 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 Put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em both up (3x) Put the lime in the coconut, you called your doctor, woke him up, and said Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take, I said Doctor, to relieve this bellyache,
