Coconut shy

 I've seen a tomato blush 

At a salad dressing

I've seen a courgette rush

At a cucumber at a wedding

I've seen a squash yellow

Too afraid to join his pals and die

But I've never seen,

No I've never seen

I've never seen a coconut shy

I've seen a coconut jump from 

A burning building and run right through

The flames

I've seen a coconut get milked

by a maid with no name

I've seen a coconut on stage

Oh a coconut just loves the fame

Yeah I've never seen a coconut shy

I've seen a pineapple go quiet

When there's many an apple on the cart

I've seen a banana stripped bare

slide right from the start 

I've seen a star fruit go red as the 

Stars and the moon

But no, no, no

I've never seen a coconut shy

I've seen a cabbage green

About to go into war

I've seen a brocoli preen itself

Like a blackbird that soars

I've a daffodil yellow

Like a sunset mellow

All in the sky

But I've never seen

Never seen a coconut shy

Where are you looking?

Oh where do you think it'll hide?

I've never been a pokin

Around a palm tree, but I wish that

I'd have tried

I sure would like to meet one

Oh perhaps I'll go on a date

But I've seen the figure of a fig

But I ain't never got it ate

I've seen a melon so juicy

I've seen a carrot kinda small

I've seen many things you can think of

Oh I probably have seen 'em all

But there's one that i've just gotta

Hold my head back and cry

No I ain't, no I ain't

I ain't never seen a coconut shy

I never seen a coconut shy child

I never seen a coconut shy

I've seen an orange in a tangle

Making people cry

Oh they're always on their worst behaviour

They never once ask why

But no it ain't no use now

I ain't never seen a coconut shy

You can tell it to shut up

You can tell it a hushaby

But there's nothing like a quiet nut

Not I ain't seen a coconut shy

No thing but, they're a very very loud nut

Ah I've seen almost everything

But I've never seen a coconut shy

Oh yes I've seen almost everything

But I've never seen a coconut shy

Oh I like to walk through the flowers

Maybe some kind of prize

If you could find the powers of a

a coconut in the sky

But I don't want to make a big deal

Just About the way that I do feel

I'm never gonna say oh why, oh why

I've never seen a coconut shy

What in the world?

 The berries are bobbing on the rowan tree

The corn is cobbing, in the sweet acre breeze

And I am jobbing like a busy bee

But the parishioners all hold their tissues and sneeze

Oh what, what are we coming to?

What in the world is it coming to?

The flames are fanned, and the Earth's down the pan

And another horse passes on a Japanese fan

There's a statue that's a fallin'

A Greek vase is appallin'

Hiding from Apollo's gaze

Who wanders through the fallow glades

Thinking of him and looking for you

Oh what in the world are we coming to?

And the jumbo in the air is stallin'

In the sirens with long hair are callin'

Take me once, they say, take my cue

What in the world are we coming to?

I hold my breath and count to ten

But I'm afraid to open my mouth again

And if I see pigsties or sheep pens

I close my eyes and count my hens

The farm yard is all accounted true

Yet what in the world is it coming to?

And we all look lost in a maze

The shallow sharks, swim in the misty haze

And jellyfish sting, on the holidays

We all forgot were once sacred

It makes you think it's the end of days

With famine and pestilence and malaise

And summer time screams its short serenades

As the musicians all pack up their parades

What in the world are we coming to?

What in the world is it coming to?

When you hold out your hands

Then bring them together in praise

Some people leave you, and it's the pain that stays
