Coconut Telegraph |
Tuesday on the island |
Not much goin' on |
The parties are all over |
They ended just past dawn |
The jungle drums are beating |
With the tales from late last night |
'Cause stories bear repeating |
For everyone’s delight |
You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph (telegraph) |
Can’t keep nothin' under their hat |
You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph (telegraph) |
Sayin' who did dis and dat |
Dis and dat, Dis and dat |
Now I’m not one to deal in gossip |
But was he that big a fool |
To do a belly-buster high dive |
And miss the entire pool |
And what became of sweet Melissa |
And the boy nobody knew |
Did Ricardo ever find her |
I swear it’s just between me and you |
But you can hear it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph) |
By now everybody knows |
You can hear it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph) |
Just who comes and goes |
Comes and goes, comes and goes |
La, la la la, la la la |
La, la la la, la la la |
La, la la la, (la la la la la la la) |
La, la la la, (la la la la la la oooooh) |
Ah! |
It’s hump day on the island |
The lines have all gone dead |
All the juicy news is history |
I guess everything’s been said |
But when the eagle flies on Friday |
And the boys break out the rum |
And the joint begins to jumpin' |
And you’ll hear those hot lines hum |
Ah, put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph) |
All the celebration and the stress |
Baby put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph) |
In twenty-five words or less |
I want to hear it on the coconut telgraph (telegraph) |
All the celebration and the stress |
Baby put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph) |
In twenty-five words or less |
Dis and dat, Comes and goes |
Dis and dat, Comes and goes |
