Lyrics - Put The Lime In The Coconut

Brother bought a coconut
He bought it for a dime.
His sister had another
She paid it for a lime.

She put the lime in the coconut
And drank them both up.
*4

Called the doctor, woke him up, and said
Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor ain't there nothing I can take
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?

Now let me get this straight;
You put the lime in the coconut
You drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut,
You drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut,
called your doctor, woke him up, and said,

Doctor, ain't there nothing 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?

You put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both down,
You put the lime in the cocount, you're such a silly woman!
Put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both together,
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning.
