Coconut Water Songtext
von Robert Mitchum

Honey come and go with me
Back to the West Indie
Baby can′t you see I'm losing me pep and me energy
What I need is

Drink the coconut water, (the jelly)
Drink the coconut water, (yes it is a builder)
Drink the coconut water, I cannot get in America
What is the tonic man
Drink the coconut water, (the jelly)
Drink the coconut water, (yes it is a builder)
Drink the coconut water I cannot get in America

At the medical center, what you think
The doctors told me I have to drink
They said take this advice from me
Bobby, and go back to the West Indie
What you need is


Drink the coconut water, (the jelly)
Drink the coconut water, (it is a builder)
Drink the coconut water, I cannot get in America
What is the tonic man
Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water I cannot get in America

I remember when I was young
I was a husky and very strong
Now I am so feeble and weak
My knees keep knockin′ when I walk the street
What I need is

Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water, I cannot get in America
What is the tonic man
Drink the coconut water, (the jelly)
Drink the coconut water, (yes it is a builder)
Drink the coconut water I cannot get in America

My friends, I would be glad
The day I get back to Trinidad
I know my people would be glad to see me
Like a monkey climbin' up the coconut tree
What I need is


Drink the coconut water, (the jelly)
Drink the coconut water, (yes it is a builder)
Drink the coconut water, I cannot get in America
What is the tonic man
Drink the coconut water, (the jelly)
Drink the coconut water, (yes it is a builder)
Drink the coconut water I cannot get in America
