Coconut Telegraph
=================
By Jimmy Buffett
It's CTuesday on theF is-Cland
NGot much going Con
The parties are allF o-Cver
They Gended just past Cdawn
The Cjungle drums areF beat-Cing
With the Gtales from late last Cnight
Cause stories bear rFepea-Cting
For Geveryone's deClight
Chorus:
CYou can Fhear 'em on the coconut Ctelegraph
Can't keep Gnothin' under their Chat
You can Fhear 'em on the coconut Ctelegraph
Sayin' Gwho did dis and Cdat
FDis and Cdat, Gdis and Cdat
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
FLa la la Cla la la Gla Fla la la Cla la la Gla
FLa la la Cla (la la la la la)
FLa la la Cla (la la la la Gla)
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
