Nilson Harry - Lime And Coconut Lyrics


Nilson Harry Lyrics

Lime And Coconut Lyrics
This one is from memory. Best as I can recall, all the music is
simply repeating a 7th chord and the 7th chord one fourth up.
I use A7 and D7, because the D7 makes for a nifty sounding
up strum.

LIME IN DE COCONUT by Harry Nillson

A7 D7
She put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em bot' togeder
she put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em bot' up.
She put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em bot' togeder
