"Coconut Woman" lyrics - HARRY BELAFONTE

Coconut
Coconut
Coconut
Coconut

Coconut woman is calling out,
And everyday you can hear her shout
And everyday you can hear her shout
"Get you coconut water (Four for five!)
Man, it's good for your daughter (Four for five!)
Coco got alot of iron (Four for five!)
Make you strong like a lion" (Four for five!)

A lady tell me the other day,
"Now, I can take a sweet man away"
I ask her, "what was the mystery?"
She said, "coconut water and a rice curry.
You can cook it in a pot, (Four for five!)
You can serve it very hot, (Four for five!)
Coco got alot of iron (Four for five!)
Make you strong like a lion" (Roar!)

Coconut woman says,
"You'll agree, coconut makes very nice candy.
The thing that's best when you're feeling gloom,
Is coconut water with a little rum.
It could make you very tipsy, (Four for five!)
Make you feel like a gypsey. (Four for five!)
Coco got alot of iron (Four for five!)
Make you strong like a lion." (Roar!) (Four for five!)

Aaaah! Play that thing!

Coconut woman is calling out
And everyday you can hear her shout
And everyday you can hear her shout
"Get your coconut water, (Four for five!)
Man, it's good for your daughter, (Four for five!)
Get your coconut candy, (Four for five!)
Make you feel very dandy" (Four for five!)
