It's Tuesday on the is-land
BB Piano Chord 
             EE Piano Chord 

Not much going on
AA Piano Chord 
  EE Piano Chord 

The parties are all o-ver
BB Piano Chord 
               EE Piano Chord 

They ended just past dawn

EE Piano Chord 
               AA Piano Chord 
     EE Piano Chord 

The jungle drums are beat-ing
BB Piano Chord 
                    EE Piano Chord 

With the tales from late last night
AA Piano Chord 
    EE Piano Chord 

Cause stories bear repea-ting
BB Piano Chord

For everyone's delight

                       EE Piano Chord 

You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph
BB Piano Chord 
                   EE Piano Chord 

Can't keep nothin' under their hat
AA Piano Chord 
                       EE Piano Chord 

You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph
BB Piano Chord 
               EE Piano Chord 

Sayin' who did dis and dat
AA Piano Chord 
       EE Piano Chord 
    BB Piano Chord 
       EE Piano Chord 

Dis and dat, dis and dat

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

          BB Piano Chord 

La  la la la   la la la        la  la la la   la la la
AA Piano Chord 
         EE Piano Chord 

La  la la la   (la la la la la)
AA Piano Chord 
         EE Piano Chord 
                 BB Piano Chord 

La  la la la   (la la la la la)

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
