Count the Coconuts
An island-reggae counting song. Shake the coconut tree and count them as they drop — one to ten — with a bonk and a plippity-plop each time one tumbles down.
Tall green tree by the sandy shore, Coconuts a-plenty, let's count some more! Reach up high, give the trunk a shake, Count the ones that the breezes make!
Up in the coconut tree, Count 'em with me — one, two, three! Shake-shake-shake and watch 'em drop, Bonk goes a coconut, plippity-plop!
Four and five up in the leaves, Six and seven in the swaying breeze. Eight and nine are hanging round, Ten little coconuts tumble down!
Up in the coconut tree, Count 'em with me — one, two, three! Shake-shake-shake and watch 'em drop, Bonk goes a coconut, plippity-plop!
Roll 'em up and stack 'em neat, Coconut milk is a cool, sweet treat. Wave goodbye to the coconut tree, Shady leaves for you and me!
Up in the coconut tree, Count 'em with me — one, two, three!
