Coconut by Harry Nilsson

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one, she paid it for the lime

She put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em bot' togeder
she put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em bot' up.
She put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em bot' togeder
put de lime in de coconut, call de doctor woke him up, an' say
 
Doctor! Ain't der notin I can take, I say
Doctor! to relieve dis belly ache, I say
Doctor! ain't der notin I can take, I say

I put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em bot togeder,

I put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em bot' togeder,
