I'm looking, I'm looking... I'm just not finding. I've found lyrics for "Gin & Coconut Water," but not for the song you want. I found "Coconut Water" by Nya Sampan Here, but I don't know if that's the song you want. I'm going to download it & listen later.

Whoa, that is definately not the song I was looking for. The one I'm looking for is an old calipso song. I hear it all the time on Vegas Vics Tiki Lounge and I find myself singing it all the time. I can't find the lyrics anywhere though. I suppose I should just go out and buy the album, but I don't know if I like calipso enough to buy an entire record of it.

If you find it though, please let me know.

thanks!

thats harry belafonte!
he mixes coconut water with a little rum!

First off it's spelled "Calypso". The info that follows was taken from a book called Folk Songs of the Caribbean. The title of the song is "Gin and Cocoanut Water" words and music by Wilmoth Houdini, described as the "grandfather of modern Calypso". Copyright 1946. I'm too lazy to write out all the lyrics, but if it's super important, let me know.

"Honey come and go with me,
back to the west indie,
baby can't you see I'm loosing my *** energy.
What I need is :
Bring the coconut water, bring the coconut water, bring the coconut water I cannot get in America..."

Well, that's what i could understand.
I love this album, one of my favorite.

Get the album "Calypso is like so..." available everywhere on CD and is really a good "cocktails with friends" album ...always works.

I love Robert Mitchum. He is my all time favorite actor and I was amazed at how awesome his Calypso album is. Here is my Robert Mitchum page with tons of links including some video snaps of the short film clip,"Calypso, is Like So" which aired on TMC a while ago:
