Harry Nilsson Put The Lime In The Coconut Lyrics

Put The Lime In The Coconut Lyrics

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."
