MI LA MI
It's Tuesday on the is-land
SI MI
Not much going on
LA MI
The parties are all o-ver
SI MI
They ended just past dawn
MI LA MI
The jungle drums are beat-ing
SI MI
With the tales from late last night
LA MI
Cause stories bear repea-ting
SI MI
For everyone's delight
Chorus
MI LA MI
You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph
SI MI
Can't keep nothin' under their hat
LA MI
You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph
SI MI
Sayin' who did dis and dat
LA MI SI MI
Dis and dat, dis and dat
Now I'm not one for dealing gossip
But was he that big a fool?
To do a belly buster high dive
And miss the entire pool?
And what became of sweet Melissa?
And the boy nobody knew
Did Ricardo ever find her?
I swear it's just between me and you
2nd Chorus:
But you can hear it on the coconut telegraph
By now everybody knows
You can hear it on the coconut telegraph
Just who comes and goes
Comes and goes, comes and goes
LA MI SI LA MI SI
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA MI
LA LA LA LA (la LA LA LA LA)
LA MI SI
LA LA LA LA (la LA LA LA LA)
It's hump day on the island
The lines have all gone dead
All the juicy news is history
I guess everything's been said
But when the eagle flies on Friday
And the boys break out the rum
Then the joint begins to jumpin'
And you'll hear those hotlines hum
Last Chorus:
Put it on the coconut telegraph
All the celebration and the stress
Baby put it on the coconut telegraph
In twenty-five words or less
I want to hear it on the coconut telegraph
All the celebration and the stress
Baby put it on the coconut telegraph
In twenty-five words or less
Dis and dat, comes and goes
Dis and dat, comes and goes
