Coconut Lyrics
I like coconuts
You can break them open
They smell like ladies lying in the sun
I like coconuts
You can break them open
They smell like ladies lying in the sun
And if I had my way
I'd give a coconut to everyone
I got a friend named Jack
Look like a bone in a paper sack
That's my friend Jack
C'mon Jack, smell these coconuts
There's enough for everyone
Jackie likes the smell of cut grass
He used to play ball on Saturdays
Playing in the sun
Jackie likes the smell of cut grass
He used to play ball on Saturdays
Playing in the sun
If Jackie had his way
He'd give some cut grass to everyone.
It's time to play
Never tasted such a sweet thing
Yesterdays
Sweet memories my heart's repeating
Time today
Everybody's heart is beating
Everybody's smile is greeting
Everybody's soul is heating (eating?)
I know a guy named Fred
Look like a bone in a slanted shed
That's my friend Fred
C'mon Fred, smell these coconuts
There's enough for everyone
Freddy likes the sound of cold drink
He used to pop tops on Saturday
Sipping in the sun
Freddy likes the sound of cold drink
He used to pop tops on Saturday
He was sipping in the sun
And if Freddy had his way
He'd give a cold drink to everyone
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
I like coconuts
You can break them open
And they smell like ladies lying in the sun
You can break them open
They smell like ladies lying in the sun
I like coconuts
You can break them open
They smell like ladies lying in the sun
And if I had my way
I'd give a coconut to everyone
Look like a bone in a paper sack
That's my friend Jack
C'mon Jack, smell these coconuts
There's enough for everyone
Jackie likes the smell of cut grass
He used to play ball on Saturdays
Playing in the sun
Jackie likes the smell of cut grass
He used to play ball on Saturdays
Playing in the sun
If Jackie had his way
He'd give some cut grass to everyone.
Never tasted such a sweet thing
Yesterdays
Sweet memories my heart's repeating
Time today
Everybody's heart is beating
Everybody's smile is greeting
Everybody's soul is heating (eating?)
Look like a bone in a slanted shed
That's my friend Fred
C'mon Fred, smell these coconuts
There's enough for everyone
Freddy likes the sound of cold drink
He used to pop tops on Saturday
Sipping in the sun
Freddy likes the sound of cold drink
He used to pop tops on Saturday
He was sipping in the sun
And if Freddy had his way
He'd give a cold drink to everyone
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
You can break them open
And they smell like ladies lying in the sun

i'm pretty sure this song is about cocaine. i know for sure that coconut is a slang term for coke, so the song talks about coconuts (cocaine) then grass (marijuana), then cold drink (alcohol) the verse: It's time to play Never tasted such a sweet thing Yesterdays Sweet memories my heart's repeating Time today Everybody's heart is beating Everybody's smile is greeting Everybody's soul is heating is just about the effects the drugs have on everyone. I think it's most obivious here: "Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows Nobody knows like I know my nose knows"
basically a song about partying and having a good time, and isn't that what widespread panic represents???
Contrary to Be Your Own Girl's prognosis there is more to Panic then Widespread Panic then cocaine, alcohol, and the pot. The music represents so much more: molly, ecstacy, heroin, oxycontin, sassafrass, Tic Tacs, Doggie Xanax, and whatever else is in that vixxen's ziploc of tricks n treats.
This song is first and foremost about pirate treasure. Booty booty booty. How could she miss this? I recommend that BeYourOwnGirl play some baseball and have a bisexual encounter it will open her eyes to a whole new world.
Whatever happened to taking songs like this for fun? Just something to sit back to and chill to, ya know? Its relaxing...
