Coconut Tree

Bruce Arntson

Don't make me climb the coconut tree

That would be a catastrophe

I would not make it half way you see

I'm wearing the wrong kind of shoes

Don't make me climb the coconut tree

I think I owe you an apology

But ask anyone who grew up with me

I'm not one to easily bruise



Don't make me climb!

No, don't make me climb!

Don't make me climb!

These aren't my tree climbing shoes



“Hey man, if I had known you were back, man

I wouldn't have worn my wingtips

Look, there's no tread left on these, see?

Look, you can't eat those coconuts anyway, man

Monkeys have been up there

Nash, put that down, put that down!”



Don't! Don't push, man! Don't make me climb!

No please don't make me climb!

No, don't make me climb!

These aren't my tree-climbing shoes

Ah, don't make me climb!

No, don't make me climb!

Don't make me climb!

These aren't my tree-climbing shoes!…Wah!
