Coconut Telegraph Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

It's ETuesday on theA is-Eland

NBot much going Eon

The parties are allA o-Ever

They Bended just past Edawn

The Ejungle drums areA beat-Eing

With the Btales from late last Enight

Cause stories bear rAepea-Eting

For Beveryone's deElight

Chorus

EYou can Ahear 'em on the coconut Etelegraph

Can't keep Bnothin' under their Ehat

You can Ahear 'em on the coconut Etelegraph

Sayin' Bwho did dis and Edat

ADis and Edat, Bdis and Edat

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?

I swear it's just between me and you

2nd Chorus:

But you can hear it on the coconut telegraph

By now everybody knows

You can hear it on the coconut telegraph

Just who comes and goes

Comes and goes, comes and goes

ALa la la Ela la la Bla Ala la la Ela la la Bla

ALa la la Ela (la la la la la)

ALa la la Ela (la la la la Bla)

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

Then the joint begins to jumpin'

And you'll hear those hotlines hum

Last Chorus:

Put it on the coconut telegraph

All the celebration and the stress

Baby put it on the coconut telegraph

In twenty-five words or less

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
