(words and music by Harry Nilsson)

Bruder 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 call de doctor, woke `im 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 de lime in de coconut, you drank `em bot` up,
You put de lime in de coconut, you drank `em bot` up,
You put de lime in de coconut, you drank `em bot`up,
You put de lime in de coconut, you call your doctor, woke `im 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 de lime in de coconut, you drink `em bot` togedder
Put de lime in de coconut and you`ll feel better,
Put de lime in de coconut, drink `em bot` up,
Put de lime in de 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.
Brudder bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime,
His sister had anudder one she paid it for a lime.
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank `em bot` up
She put de lime in de coconut and called de doctor, woke `im up.
And 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, now lemme get this straight,
You put the lime in the coconut, you drink `em bot`up,
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink `em bot` up,
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink `em bot` up,
Put the lime in the coconut. You`re such a silly woman.
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?
I say, woo--to relieve your belly ache,
You say, well woo--ain`t there nothin` I can take?
I say woo--woo, to relieve your belly ache,
You say yow--ain`t there nothin` I can take,
I say wow--to relieve this belly ache,
I said `Doctor, ain`t there nothing I can take,`
I said, `Doctor, ain`t there nothing I can take,`
I said, `Doctor, ain`t there nothing I can take,`
I said, `Doctor you`re such a silly woman.
Put the lime in the coconut and drink `em both together,
Put the lime in the coconut, and you`ll feel better,
Put the lime in the coconut and drink `em bot` up,
Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning.
Yes, you call me in the morning, You call me in the morning,
I`ll tell you what to do if you call me in the morning.
I`ll tell you what to do if you call me in the morning.
I`ll tell you what to do if you call me in the morning.
I`ll tell you what to do and if you call me in the morning
I`ll tell you what to do.
