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 bot' up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em bot' up.
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em bot' up
She put the lime in the coconut, she call the doctor, woke 'I'm up,
Said "doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?"
I said "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache,"
I said "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?"
I said "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache."
Now lemme get this straight,
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em bot' up,
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em bot' up,
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em bot'up,
You put the lime in the coconut, you call your doctor, woke 'I'm up,
Said " Doctor, ain't there nothing' I can take?"
I said, "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache."
I said "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?'
I said, "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache,"
You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em bot' togedther
Put the lime in the coconut and you'll feel better,
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em bot' up,
Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning."
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.

Put a lime in the coconut and drink 'em bot' together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you'll feel better.
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both down,
Put the lime in your coconut, and call me in the morning,
Woo--ain't there nothin' you can take?

Check out booklet that comes with the Personal Best CD. I think it's in there.
It may be like so many other crazy hypotheses, but I like this one. :)
How can anyone go as far as making a username for this site without figuring that out?
But I like Bandinboston's interpretation - I reckon it probably is about drugs...
A good friend of me that, when he was a kid, he would get sick. And his father would go to say goodnight and he'd sing this song. It seems to be one of his favorite memories. It always made him smile, no matter how he felt.
I think his father had it right. It isn't about making sense. It's just about feeling better. That's why it gets so silly. At least that's what I think. That's why I'm going to try to help Hanji123 get out of the hole on those stupid little ratings. No reason to be negative toward someone who seems to see something positive.
