Coconut



Muppets - Coconut - Текст песни

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another, she paid it for a lime.
She put the lime in the coconut, and drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, and drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut,
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;
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut,
Called your doctor, woke him up, and said,
'Doctor, ain't there nothing 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?'

You put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both down,
You put the lime in the cocount, you're such a silly woman!
Put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both together,
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning."

The Muppet Show used this sketch as "something to keep the audience
Busy while they rescheduled the acts" because of Kermit's flipper
Injury after being fired out of a cannon.  They substituted "belly
Ache" for "flipper ache" and >voila< a suitably silly muppet song.
During the song, the seemingly-normal hospital room turns slowly into
A jungle, starting with the necklace of teeth around the Doctor's neck
Which appears somewhere in his first verse.  Then the nurses develop
African-looking masks, and eventually the walls disappear and Kermit
Is surrounded by "hallucinations" (?) of a jungle.  It is quite a
Comic number.
