Here is another song by Jimmy Buffett. It is _Coconut_Telegraph_
Coconut Telegraph
--
by Jimmy Buffett
It's Tuesday on the island
Not
much going on
The parties are all over
They ended just past dawn
Now the jungle
drums are beating
With the tales of late last night
And the story's very heated
Much
to everyone's delight
You can hear it on the coconut telegraph
Don't keep nothing
under their hat
You can hear it on the coconut telegraph
Find out who did dis and dat
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
Well I swear it's
just between me and you
You can hear it on the coconut telegraph
By now everybody
knows
You can hear it on the coconut telegraph
Find out just who comes and goes
Comes
and goes
Comes and goes
Well 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
And the joint begins to
jumping
You'll hear those headlines hum
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
