Coconut tree on South Sea Isle,
Living your life in tropic style,
Lazing around all through the day,
Waving at boats out in the bay.

(Chorus)
Coconut tree so fine and tall,
You have the grandest live of all;
Coconut tree, that's what I'd be,
If I could have one wish for me.
Coconut tree so fine and tall,
You have the grandest live of all;
Coconut tree, that's what I'd be,
If I could have one wish for me.

Coconut tree by blue lagoon,
Dreaming all night of the yellow moon,
Welcoming dawn of golden sun,
Glad that another day's begun.

Coconut tree the whole day long,
Listening to the sea-wind song,
Leaning your head against the sky,
Watching the world go passing by.
