“Oh no—where’s my knife? Where’s my spoon? The coconut waits for no man! “Gotta chop, gotta scrape, gotta drink! Hold still, my little coconut, I need your blessings! Huh huh huh huh heee Soi Soi my dear coconut come!” (Verse 1) Coconut oil on Mama’s hands, smooth like silk—no more cracks! Coconut milk in Papa’s tea, strong like bull—no more naps! My brother got a fever, my sister’s got stress— I crack the shell, pour the cure, let them rest! Oh, my baby girl cries, she had a nightmare— Rub her feet with coconut cream, demons beware! I mix it in rice, I mix it in stew— I mix it with prayers and hope it comes true! (Chorus) Coco! L’eau divine, l’huile sacrée! Coco! Seigneur, Seigneur! Que la noix m’accepte! Que Bocuse l’entende! Que Ferran l’adore! Qu’est-ce que j’ai vu?! (Verse 2 ) Gordon Ramsay said, “Coconut’s gold!” Escoffier knew, his soul was sold! Michel Bras whispers, “Coconut grace!” Even Ferran Adrià—he sees its face! I take the husk, I grind it down, Put it in my soap, rub it all around! Coconut in my coffee, coconut in my soul, Coconut’s the secret, the world must know! Chorus) Coco! L’eau divine, l’huile sacrée! Coco! Seigneur, Seigneur! Que la noix m’accepte! Que Bocuse l’entende! Que Ferran l’adore! Qu’est-ce que j’ai vu?! (Bridge ) “Listen… listen… the wind is speaking… The tree leans close… it whispers… Bless it three times… drink it pure… and you will see… I’VE SEEN TOO MUCH!” (Chorus) Coco! L’eau divine, l’huile sacrée! Coco! Seigneur, Seigneur! Que la noix m’accepte! Que Bocuse l’entende! Que Ferran l’adore! Qu’est-ce que j’ai vu?! Put it on your head! In your mouth! On your feet! Bocuse knew it! Adrià saw it! And me… me… I am coconut. (Outro) “I wish for one sacred coconut! It gives me release!”
