Cocoanut sweet
Honeydew new
Jasmine and cherry and juniper berry
That's you
Cocoanut sweet
Buttercup true
Face that I see in the blue Caribbean
That's you
Catch me the smile you smile
And I'll make this big world my tiny island
Shining with spice
And sugar plum
Cage me the laugh you laugh
And I will make this tiny, shiny island
My little slice
Of kingdom come
The wind may blow
The hurricane whip up the sky
The vine go bare
The leaf go dry
But when you smile at me
Spring tumble out of the tree
The peach is ripе, the lime is green
The air is touchеd with tangerine
And cocoanut sweet
Honeydew new
Ev'rything, dear
That wants to cheer
The nearness of you
How it all come true
Whenever we meet
The magic of cherry and berry
And cocoanut sweet
