Lyrics
He just had a stress test and he was fine,
His cholesterol was down to two oh nine.
He saved up his money, retired to the tropic sea,
(Spoken) Sounds beautiful
There he was resting contentedly
Underneath a tall palm tree when he was:

Killed by a coconut, killed by a coconut,
Just when things were lookin’ up,
He happened to be lookin’ down.
Yeah, he was killed by a coconut,
(Spoken) And you could be
Killed by a coconut,
(Spoken) That’s why you never should be
Sittin’ underneath a coconut tree
When the coconut come down.

After five years of beggin’ and pleadin’,
She finally said yes.
They slipped into his apartment,
She slipped out of her dress,
He lit up some incense
And unplugged the phone,
And was just about to enter
The twilight zone when he was:

Killed by a coconut oh, what a feeling)
Kllled by a coconut (it came through the ceiling)]
The people upstairs were havin’ a luau
And one fell through the floor
And you’ll be killed by a coconut (if you ain’t protected)
Killed by a coconut (they come unexpected)
So never be lyin’ in bed at night with the one that you adore.

He got a promotion, he felt great,
He took everybody in the office out to celebrate;
He ordered up pina coladas all around,
And they made a toast, he drank it down
And made a gasping sound and he was:

Killed by a coconut (a great big cold one)
Killed by a coconut (he swallowed a whole one)
The young bartender was just out of school
And put the whole damn coconut in and he was:

Killed by a coconut (it ain’t no joke)
You could be killed by a coconut (gasp and choke)
So never be drinkin’ in a bar at night
Surrounded by all your friends.

He come back from Vietnam without even a scar (guy was a hero)
Started drivin’ them demolition derby cars
He joined the police force,
Survived a shoot out or two (uh oh I think I see what’s comin’)
Now he was healthily joggin’ down the avenue when he was:

Killed by a pineapple (they were out of coconuts)
Killed by a pineapple (felt just like a coconut)
The A & P truck hit a telephone pole and fruit went flyin’ everywhere
So, if there’s plans you got (big plans you got)
Just make sure you’re not (just make sure you’re not)
Joggin’ down the road on a sunny afternoon
‘Cause coconuts are lurkin’ out there.

And you’ll be killed by a coconut (what a way to die now)
Killed by a coconut (everybody cry now)
Fate has a way of makin’ you pay for all wrongs you do
And all the plans you got (all the plans you got)
Ain’t gonna mean a lot (ain’t gonna mean a lot)
When you meet up with the coconut
That’s out there waitin’ for you.

Yeah, the plans you got – will not mean a lot
When you take a shot – that don’t feel so hot
And ready or not, you come to the spot
Your coconut’s waitin’ for you.
