Kwami and the Coconut Tree
Words and music by Dawnie © 2006

1. A little boy named Kwami from the island you see
Forgets to read his school book loves to climb the coconut tree
When the sun gets very hot the coconut tree is a shady spot
People restring underneath the tree
Watch out for little Kwami

Singing Kwami, climb that tree
Shake the coconut down for me
Kwami when you’re through
Please be careful to see who’s under you

2. Mean Mumbo Jumbo, won’t understand
He is big trouble in this fine land
All the families gather round to make a plan
To rid their village of this mean, mean, man

Singing Kwami, climb that tree
Shake the coconut down for me
Kwami when you’re through
Please be careful to see who’s under you

3. Kwami is a hero from the coconut tree
He shook the largest coconut down and scared Mumbo Jumbo out to sea
Kwami climbed up to the top of the largest tree
Such a small boy such bravery

Singing Kwami, climb that tree
Shake the coconut down for me
Kwami when you’re through
Please be careful to see who’s under you
