Coconut Palm For A Christmas Tree
VERSE 1
Papa climb high in the coconut tree
Christmas Eve, he must make haste
As he carves coconuts for his children
Makes them look like a monkey?s face
CHORUS
Christmas time in the islands
Open presents down by the sea
Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
VERSE 2
Mama cuts down the palm limbs
She weaves them with patience and grace
Makes hats for all her daughters
Keeps the tropical sun off their face
CHORUS
Christmas time in the islands
Open presents down by the sea
Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
VERSE 3
Grandpa takes the coconut shells
Carves them out long and smooth
His grandsons will have for Christmas
Homemade toy canoes
CHORUS
Christmas time in the islands
Open presents down by the sea
Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
VERSE 4
Grandma takes the coconut milk
Shreds all the coconut meat
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Mixes and bakes a coconut cake
For the family's Christmas treat
CHORUS
Christmas time in the islands
Open presents down by the sea
Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
INSTRUMENTAL
BRIDGE
No snow to cover the palm limbs
But it?s covered with colorful lights
A coconut palm provides everything
To make Christmas merry and bright
VERSE 5
Christmas morning, the children
All smile and shout with glee
We?re glad we live in the islands
Underneath the coconut tree
CHORUS
Christmas time in the islands
Open presents down by the sea
Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
CHORUS
Christmas time in the islands
Open presents down by the sea
Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
TAG
It?s Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
