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.
