1980
3
For the gang at the Fish House
4
Tuesday on the island
5
Not much goin' on
6
The parties are all over
7
They ended just past dawn
8
The jungle drums are beating
9
With the tales from late last night
10
'Cause stories bear repeating
11
For everyone's delight
12
Chorus:
13
You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
14
Can't keep nothin' under their hat
15
You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
16
Sayin' who did dis and dat
17
Dis and dat, Dis and dat
18
Now I'm not one to deal in gossip
19
But was he that big a fool
20
To do a belly-buster high dive
21
And miss the entire pool
22
And what became of sweet Melissa
23
And the boy nobody knew
24
Did Ricardo ever find her
25
I swear it's just between me and you
26
Chorus:
27
But you can hear it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
28
By now everybody knows
29
You can hear it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
30
Just who comes and goes
31
Comes and goes, comes and goes
32
La, la la la, la la la
33
La, la la la, la la la
34
La, la la la, (la la la la la la la)
35
La, la la la, (la la la la la la oooooh)
36
Ah!
37
It's hump day on the island
38
The lines have all gone dead
39
All the juicy news is history
40
I guess everything's been said
41
But when the eagle flies on Friday
42
And the boys break out the rum
43
And the joint begins to jumpin'
44
And you'll hear those hot lines hum
45
Chorus:
46
Ah, put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
47
All the celebration and the stress
48
Baby put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
49
In twenty-five words or less
50
I want to hear it on the coconut telgraph (telegraph)
51
All the celebration and the stress
52
Baby put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
53
In twenty-five words or less
54
Dis and dat, Comes and goes
55
Dis and dat, Comes and goes
