There I was, in all of my innocence
Lovin’ you with all of my might
Come to find I didn’t have any sense
You had a different darlin’ every night
Peel me a nanner, toss me a peanut
I’ll come swingin’ from a coconut tree
Peel me a nanner, toss me a peanut
You sure made a monkey out of me
I gave you kisses and I gave you lovin’
Tried to please your every little whim
It all added up to a big bad nothin’
Last night, you upped and run away with him
Peel me a nanner, toss me a peanut
I’ll come swingin’ from a coconut tree
Peel me a nanner, toss me a peanut
You sure made a monkey out of me
Peel me a nanner, toss me a peanut
I’ll come swingin’ from a coconut tree
Peel me a nanner, toss me a peanut
You sure made a monkey out of me
Peel me a nanner, toss me a peanut
I’ll come swingin’ from a coconut tree
If the sun stopped shinin’ you’d be so surprised
You’d stare at the heavens with wide open eyes
And the wind would carry your light to the skies
And the sun would start shinin’ again
(Daddy what if the wind stopped blowin’ what would happen then)
If the wind stopped blowin’ then the land would be dry
And your boat wouldn’t sail son and your kite wouldn’t fly
And the grass would see your troubles and she’d tell the wind
And the wind would start blowin’ again
(But daddy what if the grass stopped growin’ what would happen then)
If the grass stopped growin’ why you’d probably cry
And the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyes
And like your love for me the grass would grow so high
Yes the grass would start growin’ again
(But daddy what if I stopped lovin’ you what would happen then)
If you stopped lovin’ me then the grass would stop growin’
The sun would stop shinin’ and the wind would stop blowin’
So you see if you wanna keep this old world a goin’
You better start lovin’ me again again you better start lovin’ me again
You hear me Bobby you better start lovin’ me again
You love me Bobby you better start lovin’ me again
