Coconuts is really meant to be a tango; but, I'm not sure if it really worked out that way.

Story behind the song
While sitting on a tropical beach, sipping rum & coconut milk; I felt devoid of any more ambition than "waiting for coconuts to fall out of the trees".
Lyrics
COCONUTS lyric & music by Stephen McPhail TILL ALL SAD SONGS ARE SUNG CLOWNS ALL LAUGH TILL WE'RE FREE... BIRDS FREEZE FROM FEAR OF FLYING FISH FORGET HOW TO SWIM IN THE SEA... PUT YRSELF TO IT... YR HEART & YR SOUL... PUT YRSELF TO IT... PUT YRSELF TO IT... YR HEART & YR SOUL... TILL COCONUTS FALL OFF THE TREE... TILL SOLDIERS ARE ALL WREATHED IN GLORY TERRORISTS HAVE ALL SOLD THEIR STORY... POLITICIANS ALL LIVE UP TO THEIR PRESS HOMELESS HAVE ALL BECOME HOMEY... PUT YRSELF TO IT... YR HEART & YR SOUL... TILL COCONUTS FALL OFF THE TREE... WHEN YOU PUT YR ARMS AROUND ME DANCING A TORRID FANDANGO... CHERISH THE MOMENT OF BLISS IN A KISS & WILD MONKEY LOVE ALL A TANGO... PUT YRSELF TO IT... YR HEART & YR SOUL... TILL COCONUTS FALL OFF THE TREE...
