- Verse:
- I know of a place poets
write about, An island of dreams they delight about,
- Where the birds on high
sing a song to us, And the earth and sky belong to us;
- There's a grove of palm
trees growing by the sea, Beckoning to you and me:
-
- Chorus:
- There's a cocoanut grove
where life is entrancing, And there sweetheart, we'll find romancing,
- And love for two, By the
light of a southsea island moon;
- There's a cocoanut grove
where your happy lover will do his part, And soon discover,
- A rendezvous, In the shelter
of a tropical lagoon;
- Palm trees will be swaying,
While steel guitars are playing;
- Believe what I'm saying,
Dear, I swear it's true;
- There's a cocoanut grove
where I'll be confessing the simple truth that you've been guessing,
- Sweetheart, I love but you.
