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