Lyrics:

I was dreaming when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray (oh-ooh-whoa-ho)
But when I woke up this morning
I coulda sworn it was judgement day
Sky was all a-purple, there were
People running everywhere, ay-hey-yeah
Trying to run from my destruction
And though I didn't even care
They say two thousand, zero zero
Party's over, oops out of time
So tonight, I'm gonna party
Like it's nineteen ninety-nine, oh-ho-oh
They say two thousand, zero zero
Party's over, oops out of time
So tonight, I'm gonna cry
Like it's nineteen ninety-nine
No-oh, nineteen ninety-nine
No, whoa-ho, nineteen ninety-nine
Baby, nineteen ninety-nine
Nineteen ninety-nine

Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us (ah)
Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us (ah)
(Letting the days go by, letting the days go by)
(Letting the days go by, letting the days go by)
You may find yourself living in a shack and shack
You may find yourself in another part of the world
You may find yourself behind the wheels of a large automobile
You may find yourself with a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
You may ask yourself (how did I get here) 'How did I get here?'
(Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down)
(Letting the days go by, water flowing under ground)
(Into the pool again, after the money's gone)
(Once in a lifetime, water flowing under ground)
You may ask yourself 'What is this house?'
You may ask yourself 'Where does this highway go?'
You may ask yourself 'Am I right or wrong?'
You may ask yourself 'My God (my God), what have I done?'
(Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down)
(Letting the days go by, water flowing under ground)
(Into the pool again, after the money's gone)
(Once in a lifetime, water flowing under ground)
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Boo-uh plah-uh zuh zuh (uh-ha-heah)

Someone had a coconut and bought it for a dime and
Someone had another one and paid it for a lime
We put the lime in the coconut and drank them both up
We put the lime in the coconut and drank them both up
We put the lime in the coconut and drank them both up
We put the lime in the coconut and prayed to God as to wake him up
And say, 'Doctor, is there nothin' I can take?'
I said, 'Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?'
I say, 'Doctor, is there nothin' I can take?'
I say, 'Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?'
Now let me get this straight
You put the lime in the coconut and drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut, drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut, drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut, pray to me as to wake me up
Say, 'Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?'
I say, 'Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?'
I say, 'Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?'
I say, 'Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?'
You put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut and you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, (ow) doo-doo-doo)
Someone brought a coconut and bought it for a dime and

You put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em both up
Put a lime in the coconut, drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you're such a silly human
You put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut and you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both down
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me when you're flyin'
(La, la-la, la-la)
(La, la-la, la-la-ah)
Woo-woo
I say, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo, is there nothin' I can take?
I said, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo, to relieve the bellyache?
I said, a-whoo-whoo-whoo, is there nothing I can take?
I said, woo-woo, to relieve the bellyache?

Boy, you're such a silly human
Put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut and you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
Yes, you call me in the morning
If you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
