Thread Name: ADD: Rum and Coconut Water
Subject: RE: lyric: drink'n rum and coconut water-need son
...who grew up on a sugar plantation in the West Indies:
Oh baby won't you come with me
We go back to de West Indies.
For honey can't you see I've lost
My pep and my energy.
Chorus: What I need is rum and coconut water, man!
Rum and coconut water, man!
Rum and coconut watah I cyannot get in America.
When I was very young.
I was very robust and strong.
But now I walk the streets I feel a weakness in my feet!
Chorus
In America they have snow.
In Jamaica it is not so.
Me body's gettin' so old
I can no longer stand the cold.
Chorus
Didn't learn any more verses, or my pornographic memory has failed me...again!
