Verse 1
Banana sitting in the shade,
Feeling soft and a little afraid,
“Everybody peels me quick,
I’m not tough, I’m not thick.”
Coconut laughed from up the tree,
“Brother, you not strong like me,
Shell so hard, nobody tries,
Take a hammer, take some time.”
Pre-Chorus
But the sunshine smiles, the ocean sings,
Every fruit has its blessing to bring.
Chorus
Banana and coconut, side by side,
Blend together, what a tropical vibe,
Sweet and creamy, island style,
Together they make the people smile.
Banana and coconut, what a pair,
Mix them up and love is in the air,
Sip it down, the taste so fine,
Banana and coconut time.
Verse 2
Banana said, “I’m soft but sweet,
Every heart I gently meet,
Don’t need armor, don’t need pride,
Love is where my strength resides.”
Coconut thought, then cracked a grin,
“You’re the spirit deep within,
Though I’m tough, you make it flow,
Together, now the people know.”
Pre-Chorus
From the palm trees high, to the sandy shore,
Two friends mixing forevermore.
Chorus
Banana and coconut, side by side,
Blend together, what a tropical vibe,
Sweet and creamy, island style,
Together they make the people smile.
Banana and coconut, what a pair,
Mix them up and love is in the air,
Sip it down, the taste so fine,
Banana and coconut time.
Bridge
Under moonlight, glasses clink,
Island people laugh and drink,
Fruit so different, yet they find,
Unity tastes so divine.
Final Chorus (repeat joyfully)
Banana and coconut, side by side,
Blend together, what a tropical vibe…
