Gene Mitchell Two Big Coconuts lyrics

Verse 1
Down in the islands, you learn the first thing
About mid-day, you get really thirsty
I was really hot, so I dropped into a shop
Asked the girl for water, she said, I think not
Down in the islands, water is not enough
To quench your thirst, you need two big coconuts

Verse 2
Now I'd never heard that, but I was really dry
And willing, to give anything a try
'Cause I was really hot, and I was on the spot
Asked her, please give me
Anything you've got
Down in the islands, water is not enough
To quench your thirst, you need two big coconuts

Chorus
One coconut; just won't do
When you're thirsty, it takes two
Not three, not four
Two coconuts, you'll need no more
Not five, not six
Two coconuts will do the trick
Yes, two coconuts, can you dig
Two coconuts; make sure they're big

Instrumental


Verse 3
Big coconuts, sweet to the taste
I don't like to see anything go to waste
I was really hot, so I drank a lot
Licked my lips; said
Give me one more shot
Down in the islands, water is not enough
To quench your thirst, you need two big coconuts

Chorus
One coconut; just won?t do
When you're thirsty, it takes two
Not three, not four
Two coconuts, you'll need no more
Not five, not six
Two coconuts will do the trick
Yes, two coconuts, can you dig
Two coconuts; make sure they're big
Tag
She had big coconuts
She gave me big coconuts
Two big coconuts
