  Coconut Telegraph

  =================

  By Jimmy Buffett

  

       E             A   E 

  It's Tuesday on the is-land

   B             E

  Not much going on

                     A  E

  The parties are all o-ver

       B               E

  They ended just past dawn

  

      E               A     E

  The jungle drums are beat-ing

           B                    E

  With the tales from late last night

                      A    E

  Cause stories bear repea-ting

      B            E

  For everyone's delight

  

  Chorus:

       E       A                       E                

       You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph

                  B                   E

       Can't keep nothin' under their hat

               A                       E

       You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph

              B               E

       Sayin' who did dis and dat

       A       E    B       E

       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

       La  la la la   la la la        la  la la la   la la la

       A         E       

       La  la la la   (la la la la la)  

       A         E                 B

       La  la la la   (la la la la la)

  

  

  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
