Cocoanut Sweet

Cocoanut sweet,
Honeydew new,
Jasmine and cherry
And juniper berry,
That’s you.
Cocoanut sweet,
Buttercup true,
Face that I see in
The blue Carribean,
That’s you.
Catch me the smile you smile
And I’ll make this big world my tiny island,
Shining with spice
And sugar plum.
Cage me the laugh you laugh
And I will make this tiny, shiny island
My little slice
Of kingdom come.
The wind may blow,
The hurricane whip up the sky,
The vine go bare,
The leaf go dry,
But when you smile at me,
Spring tumble out of the tree,
The peach is ripe, the lime is green,
The air is touched with tangerine
And cocoanut sweet,
Honeydew new,
Ev’rything, dear,
That wants to cheer
The nearness of you.
How it all come true
Whenever we meet,
The magic of cherry and berry
And cocoanut sweet.
