Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody's got a place they go
When the old battery gets runnin' low
I'm a sucker for the sand and sea, yeah
If I had my way, hey I'd always be
[Verse 2]
Way up high in a coconut tree
Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny skies far as I can see
High up in a coconut tree
[Verse 3]
Not too green, not too brown
I shimmy up and I shake the good ones down
Coconuts, a couple of bucks a piece
And you can do all right if you ain't afraid to be
[Verse 4]
High in a coconut tree
Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny skies as far as I can see
High up in a coconut tree
[Verse 5]
Yeah, there's less stress
And the world's alright
It's  a different point of view
When your looking at life
[Verse 6]
Way up high in a coconut tree
Layin' low, low just my baby and me
Sunny skies as far as I can see
High up in a coconut
[Verse 7]
High in a coconut tree
Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny skies as far as I can see
High in a coconut tree
[Verse 8]
High in a coconut tree
Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny skies as far as I can see
High in a coconut tree
[Verse 9]
Sunny skies as far as I can see
Layin' low, just my baby and me
High up in a coconut tree
[Verse 10]
Sunny skies as far as I can see
High up in a coconut tree
Up here with Willie
Sunny skies as far as I can see
Let's get high in a coconut tree
