Gin and Coconut Water

Traditional

[Verse 1]
Honey, come an' go with me
Back to the West Indie
Baby, can't you see?
I'm losin' my pep and my energy

[Chorus]
What I need is
Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water
I cannot get in America

What he tell me
Drink the coconut water, the jelly
Drink the coconut water, yes it's a builder
Drink the coconut water
I cannot get in America

[Verse 2]
At the medical center what you think?
The doctors told me I'll have to drink
They said, "Take this advice from me
For this go back to the West Indie"

[Chorus]
What you need is
Drink the coconut water, now
Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water
I cannot get in America

Drink the coconut water, did you say?
Drink the coconut water, add a little rum an'
Drink the coconut water
I cannot get in America

[Verse 3]
I remember when I was young
I was husky and very strong
Now, I'm feeble and weak
My knees are wobblin' when I walk the street

[Chorus]
What I need is
Drink the coconut water, well now
Drink the coconut water, yes, it's a beauty
Drink the coconut water
I cannot get in America

What's become of me
Drink the coconut water, the jelly
Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water
I cannot get in America

[Verse 4]
My friends, I would be glad
The day that I get back to Trinidad
I know my people would be glad to see me
Like a monkey climbin' up the coconut tree

[Chorus]
What I need is the
Drink the coconut water, yes now
Drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water
I cannot get in America

Last time
Drink the coconut water, the jelly
Drink the coconut water, add a little gin an'
Drink the coconut water
I cannot get in America

[Outro]
Round the corner
Yes, it is a builder
Up the chimney
Look at you, me jump up
Pretty tonic
Add a little rum an'
Round the corner
