INTRO


The coconut nut is a giant nut
If you eat too much, you get very fat
Now, the coconut nut is a big, big nut
But this delicious nut is not a nut


CHORUS
It's the coco fruit (it's the coco fruit)
Of the coco tree (of the coco tree)
From the coco palm family


INTERLUDE


There are so many uses of the coconut tree
You can build a big house for the family
All you need is to find a coconut man
If he cuts the tree, he gets the fruits free


[Repeat CHORUS]


The coconut bark for the kitchen floor
If you save some of it, you can build the door
Now, the coconut trunk, do not throw this junk
If you save some of it, you'll have a second floor


The coconut wood is very good
It can stand 20 years if you pray it would
Now, the coconut fruit, to tell you the truth
You can throw it or use it as firewood


The coconut leaves, good shade it gives
For the roof, for the walls, up against the eaves
Now, the coconut fruit, say my relatives
Make good cannonballs up against the thieves


[Repeat CHORUS]
[Repeat 1st stanza]


AD LIB


[Repeat CHORUS thrice]


Olé!
