INTRO
[E]	[|]	[E]	[|]	[E]	[|]	[E]

VERSE 1
It's Tuesday on the [|][A]is[E]land, [|][B]not much [E]going on
The parties are all [|][A]o[E]ver, they [|][B]ended just past [E]dawn
The jungle drums are [|][A]beat[E]ing, with the [|][B]tales from late last [E]night
Cause stories bear re[|][A]pea[E]ting, for [|][B]everyone's de[E]light[|][E]

CHORUS
You can [|][A]hear 'em on the coconut [E]telegraph
Can't keep [|][B]nothin' under their [E]hat
You can [|][A]hear 'em on the coconut [E]telegraph
Sayin' [|][B]who did dis and [E]dat, Dis and [|][B]dat, dis and [E]dat[|]

VERSE 2
[E]Now I'm not one for dealing [A]gos[|][E]sip, but was [B]he that big a [|][E]fool?
To do a belly buster [A]high [|][E]dive, and [B]miss the entire [|][E]pool?
And what became of sweet Mel[A]iss[|][E]a? And the [B]boy nobody [|][E]knew
Did Ricardo ever [A]find [|][E]her? I swear it's [B]just between me and [|][E]you

CHORUS 2
But you can [A]hear it on the coconut [|][E]telegraph
By now [B]everybody [|][E]knows
You can [A]hear it on the coconut [|][E]telegraph
[B]Just who comes and [|][A]goes
Comes and [B]goes, comes and [|][E][single]goes



BRIDGE
[A]La la la [E]la la la [|][B]la [|][A]la la la [E]la la la [|][B]la[|]
[A]La la la [E]la (la la la la la)[|]
[A]La la la [E]la (la la la la [|][B]la)[|][E]

VERSE 3
It's hump day on the [|][A]is[E]land, the [|][B]lines have all gone [E]dead
All the juicy news is [|][A]histor[E]y, I guess [|][B]everything's been [E]said
But when the eagle flies on [|][A]Fri[E]day, and the [|][B]boys break out the [E]rum
Then the joint begins to [|][A]jump[E]in', and you'll [|][B]hear those hotlines [E]hum[|]

CHORUS 3
[A]Put it on the coconut [E]telegraph
All the [|][B]celebration and the [E]stress
Baby [|][A]put it on the coconut [E]telegraph
In [|][B]twenty-five words or [E]less

I want to [|][A]hear it on the coconut [E]telegraph
All the [|][B]celebration and the [E]stress
Baby [|][A]put it on the coconut [E]telegraph
In [|][B]twenty-five words or [A]less

OUTRO
Dis and [|][B]dat, comes and [E]goes
Dis and [|][B]dat, comes and [E]goes[|] [B] [|][E][single]
