I live under the coconut tree
I lie in the sun and I swim in the sea
I make my bed below the sky
I still watch the world just a passin' me by.
Hey hey, it's good to be free
"˜Cause they'll never ever find me "˜neath the coconut tree.
I left home because of my nagging wife
Man oh man it was a terrible life
She took all my money and she left me with none
So I packed my bags and decided to run.
My wife and family are looking for me
But they'll never ever find me "˜neath the coconut tree.
Hey hey, it's good to be free
"˜Cause they'll never ever find me "˜neath the coconut tree.
I live under the coconut tree
I lie in the sun and I swim in the sea
I make my bed below the sky
I still watch the world just a passin' me by.
My wife and family are looking for me
But they'll never ever find me "˜neath the coconut tree.
