Robert Mitchum - Calypso – Is Like So…

Coconut Water

Honey, come and go with me
Back to the West Indie
Baby, can't you see I'm losing me pep and me energy?
What I need is-

Drink the coconut water (the jelly)
Drink the coconut water (yes, it is a builder)
Drink the coconut water I cannot get in America
What is the tonic, man?
Drink the coconut water (the jelly)
Drink the coconut water (yes, it is a builder)
Drink the coconut water I cannot get in America

At the medical center, what you think
The doctors told me I have to drink?
They said, "Take this advice from me
Bobby, and go back to the West Indie
What you need is"-

Drink the coconut water (the jelly)
Drink the coconut water (it is a builder)
Drink the coconut water I cannot get in America
What is the tonic, man?
Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water I cannot get in America

I remember when I was young
I was a-husky and very strong
Now I am so feeble and weak
Me knees keep knockin' when I walk the street
What I need is-

Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water I cannot get in America
What is the tonic, man?
Drink the coconut water (the jelly)
Drink the coconut water (yes, it is a builder)
Drink the coconut water I cannot get in America

My friends, I would be glad
The day I get back to Trinidad
I know my people would be glad to see me
Like a monkey climbin' up the coconut tree
What I need is-

Drink the coconut water (the jelly)
Drink the coconut water (yes, it is a builder)
Drink the coconut water I cannot get in America
What is the tonic, man?
Drink the coconut water (the jelly)
Drink the coconut water (yes, it is a builder)
Drink the coconut water I cannot get in America
