Coconut Palm For A Christmas Tree

Papa climb high in the coconut tree
Christmas Eve, he must make haste
As he carves coconuts for his children
Makes them look like a monkey? s face
Christmas time in the islands
Open presents down by the sea
Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
Mama cuts down the palm limbs
She weaves them with patience and grace
Makes hats for all her daughters
Keeps the tropical sun off their face
Christmas time in the islands
Open presents down by the sea
Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
Grandpa takes the coconut shells
Carves them out long and smooth
His grandsons will have for Christmas
Homemade toy canoes
Christmas time in the islands
Open presents down by the sea
Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
Grandma takes the coconut milk
Shreds all the coconut meat
Mixes and bakes a coconut cake
For the family’s Christmas treat
Christmas time in the islands
Open presents down by the sea
Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree

BRIDGE
No snow to cover the palm limbs
But it? s covered with colorful lights
A coconut palm provides everything
To make Christmas merry and bright
Christmas morning, the children
All smile and shout with glee
We? re glad we live in the islands
Underneath the coconut tree
Christmas time in the islands
Open presents down by the sea
Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
Christmas time in the islands
Open presents down by the sea
Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
TAG
It? s Christmas time in the islands
A coconut palm for a Christmas tree
