Brudder bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had anudder one, she paid it for de lime
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank ′em bot' up
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank ′em bot' up
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot′ up
She put de lime in de coconut, she called de doctor, woke ′im 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, lemme get this straight
You put de lime in de coconut, you drank 'em bot′ up
Put de lime in de coconut, you drank 'em bot' up
Put de lime in de coconut, you drank ′em bot′ up
