Put The Lime In The Coconut

Harry Nilsson Harry Nilsson

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

She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him 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, to relieve this belly ache?

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

Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?
I said: Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I said: Doctor (doctor), ain't there nothin' I can take?
I said: Doctor (doctor), to relieve this belly ache?

You put the lime in the coconut, you drink them both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning

Now let me get this straight
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink them both up
Throw a lime in the coconut, you drink them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you such a silly woman

Put a lime in the coconut, and drink them both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both down
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning

Ooh, ain't there nothin' you can take
I say oh, to relieve your belly ache
You say: oh, oh, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say: oh, oh to relieve your belly ache

You say yah, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say wow, wow, to relieve this belly ache
I say doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say doctor, you such a silly woman

Put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning

Yes, you call in the morning
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
If you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
Well, if you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
