Coconut Telegraph — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)

By: jimmy buffett

1980

For the gang at the fish house

Tuesday on the island

Not much goin on

The parties are all over

They ended just past dawn



The jungle drums are beating

With the tales from late last night

cause stories bear repeating

For everyones delight



Chorus:

You can hear em on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

Cant keep nothin under their hat

You can hear em on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

Sayin who did dis and dat

Dis and dat, dis and dat



Now Im not one to deal in 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 its just between me and you



Chorus:

But you can hear it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

By now everybody knows

You can hear it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

Just who comes and goes

Comes and goes, comes and goes



La, la la la, la la la

La, la la la, la la la

La, la la la, (la la la la la la la)

La, la la la, (la la la la la la oooooh)

Ah!



Its hump day on the island

The lines have all gone dead

All the juicy news is history

I guess everythings been said



But when the eagle flies on friday

And the boys break out the rum

And the joint begins to jumpin

And youll hear those hot lines hum



Chorus:

Ah, put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

All the celebration and the stress

Baby put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

In twenty-five words or less



I want to hear it on the coconut telgraph (telegraph)

All the celebration and the stress

Baby put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

In twenty-five words or less

Dis and dat, comes and goes

Dis and dat, comes and goes
