It's Tuesday on the is-land
B ENot much going on
A EThe parties are all o-ver
They ended just past dawn
The jungle drums are beat-ing
B EWith the tales from late last night
A ECause stories bear repea-ting
For everyone's delight
You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph
Can't keep nothin' under their hat
A EYou can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph
B ESayin' who did dis and dat
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
A E B A E B
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
