Coconut Telegraph

It's Tuesday on the is-land Not much going on The parties are all o-ver They ended just past dawn The jungle drums are beat-ing With the tales from late last night Cause stories bear repea-ting For everyone's delight You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph Can't keep nothin' under their hat You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph Sayin' who did dis and dat Dis and dat, dis and dat Now I'm not one for dealing 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 2nd Chorus: But you can hear it on the coconut telegraph By now everybody knows You can hear it on the coconut 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) 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 Then the joint begins to jumpin' And you'll hear those hotlines hum Last Chorus: Put it on the coconut telegraph All the celebration and the stress Baby put it on the coconut telegraph In twenty-five words or less I want to hear it on the coconut telegraph All the celebration and the stress Baby put it on the coconut telegraph In twenty-five words or less Dis and dat, comes and goes Dis and dat, comes and goes
