Coconut Tree - Wess Fosso

Coconut Tree Lyrics

I've a coconut tree
Behind my house
I've a coconut tree
Behind my house
Hey !When I'm hungry
I can go
I can go and get a little coco
And eat itWhile I'm dancing my dance
While I'm playing my game
While I'm playing my game
While I'm playing my song(To make my people happy
Yeah hey)"Iniambola" (Go ahead)!
"Iniambola" (Go ahead)!
"Iniambola" (Go ahead)!
"Iniambola" (Go ahead)!"Iniambo bwhoh-tchuh" (Go ahead by day time)
"Iniambo tet-njam" (Go ahead at midnight)Solo (guitar)Refrain againWhat about the good things (yeah)
What about my thirst and my hunger (yeah)
Everytime I think about this girl

When sh'es out and farThere'll still be a little coconut
To eat and drink and think
"Iniambola" (Go ahead)!"Iniambola" (Go ahead)!
"Iniambola" (Go ahead)!
"Iniambo bwhoh-tchuh" (Go ahead by day time)
"Iniambo tet-njam" (Go ahead at midnight)What about the good things (yeah)
What about my thirst and my hunger (yeah)
Everytime I think about this girl
When sh'es out and farThere'll still be a little coconut
To eat and drink and think
"Iniambola" (Go ahead)!Refrain (repeat to fade)
