Lyrics

Oh it's that time again y'all

It's Mardi Gras in New Orleans

And you can do what you wanna

Except one thing

Take your dirty hands

Off my Zulu Coconuts

Yeah now

Take your dirty hands

Off my Zulu Coconuts

I don't want no ifs or buts

Take your hands off my nuts

Coconuts!

You can shake that big fat ass

Shake your big fine funky butts

Funky butts

Yeah now shake that big fat ass

Shake that big fine funky butt

But you better take your dirty hands

Off my Zulu Coconuts

Coconuts!

You can come on in my house

You can bang on my front door

You can drink up all my liquor

You can pass out on the floor

You can spend my cash money

Have the keys to my car

But you can't touch

Cause that's too much

And now you've gone too far

Take your dirty hands

off my Zulu Coconuts

Leave them nuts alone

Yeah now take your dirty hands

off my Zulu Coconuts

Leave them nuts alone

I don't want no ifs or buts

Just take your hands off my

Hey!

Coconuts!

You can come on round my house

You can bang on my front door

You can drink up all my liquor

You can pass out on the floor

You can have my cash money

and the keys to my car

But you can't touch

Cause that's too much

And now you've gone too far

Baby take your dirty hands

Off my Zulu Coconuts

Leave them nuts alone

Leave them nuts alone

Baby take your dirty hands

Off my Zulu Coconuts

Leave them nuts alone

Leave them nuts alone

I don't want no ifs or buts

Take your hands off my nuts

Coconuts!

Zulu Coconuts

Leave them nuts alone

Zulu Coconuts

Leave them nuts alone

Zulu Coconuts

Leave them nuts alone

Zulu Coconuts

Leave them nuts alone
