Coconut Telegraph ================= By Jimmy Buffett

It's ^ETuesday on the^A is-^Eland N^Bot much going ^Eon The parties are all^A o-^Ever They ^Bended just past ^Edawn

The ^Ejungle drums are^A beat-^Eing With the ^Btales from late last ^Enight Cause stories bear r^Aepea-^Eting For ^Beveryone's de^Elight

Chorus:

^EYou can ^Ahear 'em on the coconut ^Etelegraph Can't keep ^Bnothin' under their ^Ehat You can ^Ahear 'em on the coconut ^Etelegraph Sayin' ^Bwho did dis and ^Edat ^ADis and ^Edat, ^Bdis and ^Edat

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

^ALa la la ^Ela la la ^Bla ^Ala la la ^Ela la la ^Bla ^ALa la la ^Ela (la la la la la) ^ALa la la ^Ela (la la la la ^Bla)

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 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Mike A.
