COCONUT RUM

COCONUT RUM COCONUT RUM
I LIKE ME SOME COCONUT RUM
COCONUT RUM COCONUT RUM
SO MUCH FUN DRINKING COCONUT RUM
SHA LALALALALALA SHA LALALALALALA

OUT IN THE MANGROVES WHERE THE TOURISTS DON’T GO
THERES A RUN-DOWN BAR OWNED BY A MAN NAMED JOE
HE GOT NO LAST NAME HE DON’T NEED NONE
THE ONLY DRINK HE SERVES IS COCONUT RUM

IT AIN’T NOTHIN’ TO LOOK AT JUST ALITTLE OLD SHACK
AT THE END OF THE DOCK OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
IT’S A GREAT LITTLE PLACE TO WATCH THE SETTING SUN
SIT QUIETLY AND DRINK SOME COCONUT RUM

COCONUT RUM COCONUT RUM
I LIKE ME SOME COCONUT RUM
COCONUT RUM COCONUT RUM
SO MUCH FUN DRINKING COCONUT RUM
SHA LALALALALALA SHA LALALALALALA

JOE DON’T BELONG TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WHEN I ASKED HIM WHY HE SAY THEY ALL DISHONEST
BUT ALL THE LOCALS GO THERE WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
AND WE ALL DRINK JOE’S COCONUT RUM

WELL JOE MIGHT BE JAMAICAN OR HE MIGHT BE HAITIAN
AND CARIBBEAN MUSIC IS IN HEAVY ROTATION
ONE TIME I ASK JOE WHERE HE WAS FROM
HE SAID “JUST SHUT UP AND DRINK YOUR COCONUT RUM

COCONUT RUM COCONUT RUM
I LIKE ME SOME COCONUT RUM
COCONUT RUM COCONUT RUM
SO MUCH FUN DRINKING COCONUT RUM
SHA LALALALALALA SHA LALALALALALA

JOE LIVES NEXT DOOR IN AN OLD WOODEN BOAT
IT’S GOT NO SAILS AND IT HARDLEY FLOATS
HE MIXES SUGARCANE MOLASSES IN AN OLD OAK DRUM
AND THAT’S HOW HE MAKES THE BEST COCONUT RUM

HE AIN’T GOT NO LISCENSE OR PERMIT ON THE WALL
I SAID JOE AIN’T YOU WORRIED ABOUT THE LAW
HE SAID I’M REALLY NOT WORRIED CAUSE IF THEY COME
I’LL JUST GIVE EM A TASTE OF MY COCONUT RUM

COCONUT RUM COCONUT RUM
I LIKE ME SOME COCONUT RUM
COCONUT RUM COCONUT RUM
SO MUCH FUN DRINKING COCONUT RUM
SHA LALALALALALA SHA LALALALALALA
