    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
