You put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up

Anyone remember that darned song? It's been buzzing around my head for a week since we bought a coconut at the grocery store. And silly me, I sang that refrain to the kids, who then demanded to hear the song. Sooo, I went onto Youtube and found the original version by some guy in a gorilal suit but it didn't sound quite right. Then I happened onto the Muppet rendition, and guess where I learned that song as a child lol? My husband now thinks we're all nuts 'cause we can't stop singing the coconut song–my kids especially like to belt the 'Doctor' part hehehehe.


I included the video so you can all have a flashback to the best show ever–and that adorable Kermit.

Amy The song was performed by an older Black Male (Johnny) I think, it was a commercial promoting 7-UP. Probably around 1970ish. Most popular singer's voice of this song is performed by artist "Harry Nillson". I actually have a Harry Nillson album with that song on it
