Poppa Joe lyrics

In the midday sun they beat on their drums

When Poppa Joe comes to town

With his coconut-rum they can all have fun

They can drink it till the sun goes down

Poppa Joe just smiles politely

With the money he takes he might be

Very rich one day as he hears them say:

Poppa rumbo rumbo

Hey Poppa Joe, coconut

Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe

Poppa rumbo rumbo

Hey Poppa Joe, coconut

Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe

Poppa rumbo rumbo

Hey Poppa Joe, coconut

Hey Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe

Hey Pop-, Poppa, Poppa Joe

Never see a sad face in the market place

When Poppa Joe comes around

For his coconut taste you can see them race

Through the streets you can hear the sound

All the ladies are laughing gaily

Poppa Joe's still thinking maybe

He'll always hear the people say:

Poppa rumbo rumbo

Hey Poppa Joe, coconut

Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe

Poppa rumbo rumbo

Hey Poppa Joe, coconut

Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe

Poppa rumbo rumbo

Hey Poppa Joe, coconut

Hey Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe

Hey Pop-, Poppa, Poppa Joe
