So I went a little bit closer, looking up the tree
And I asked if she would be willing to pick one for me
Oh---coconut, oh---coconut

Well, she said that I was a bad boy, and don't give me bother
And that she was only allowed to pick for her father

Oh---coconut, oh---coconut

But next day, I was a lot wiser, I went up the tree
And after she had climbed up the ladder
I kicked it down you see!
Oh---coconut, oh---coconut
Oh---coconut, oh---coconut
(Repeat and fade)
