A local music pal found these lyrics for me today
He said he never knew they existed until today.

I couldn't recall a single line in the song -
but I could whistle the tune


COCOANUT GROVE
© 1938
Lyrics & Music: Harry Owens
Introduced by Owens and his Royal Hawaiians in the Paramount film,
Cocoanut Grove.

There's a cocoanut grove where life is entrancing
And there, sweetheart, we'll find romancing
And love for two
By the light of a South Sea Island moon

There's a cocoanut grove where your happy love
Will do his part, and soon discover
A rendezvous
In the shelter of a tropical lagoon

Palm trees will be swaying
While steel guitars are playing
Believe what I'm saying, dear
I swear it's true

There's a cocoanut grove where I'll be confessing
The simple truth that you've been guessing
Sweetheart
I love but you
