Of limes and coconuts

Thanks a lot, Jen! Since you mentioned it, my OCD kicked in, and I had to go find the CD and listen to Harry Nilsson's Coconut.

Cause and effect, I have a little party going on here in my studio with my 5 yr old daughter, dancing and asking me to "shake my bootie" with her. *sigh* Well, a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do...

Harry Nilsson---Coconut

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one, she paid it for a lime.
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up,
And said, "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?" "
Now let me get this straight ",
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you called your doctor, woke him up,
And say, 'Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor, doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, dooooctor, to relieve this belly ache?'
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both together,
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better,
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both up,
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
Wouh wouh wouh wouh wouh

If you call me in the morning, then I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning, then I'll tell you what to do

OMG thank you... i think. i had finally gotten that song out of my head after, oh, 5-6 years or so and then jen went and got it back in my head too!

at least now i'll be groovin' to the correct words (instead of the ones i've been singing) as i crumble into madness... =)
