Fantasia's Confidential Ghetto: 1999, Once In A Li
Coconut

I was dreamy when I wrote this
forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this morning
I could've sworn it was Judgement Day
The sky was all purple, there were people running everywhere
Trying to run from my destruction
you know I didn't even care
They say two thousand, zero zero,
party's over, oops-- out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
Oh...
They say two thousand, zero zero,
party's over, oops-- out of time
So tonight I'm gonna cry like it's 1999
no... 1999
no... 1999
baby... 1999
1999...

Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us
Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us
Many the days go by... many the days go by
Many the days go by... many the days go by
You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
You may find yourself in another part of the world
You may find yourself behind the wheels of a large automobile
You may find yourself with a beautiful house
with a beautiful wife
You may ask yourself "How did I get here?"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the pool again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
You may ask yourself "What is this house?"
You may ask yourself "Where does this highway go?"
You may ask yourself "Am I right or wrong?"
You may ask yourself "My God... what have I done?"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the pool again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...

Someone had a coconut, he bought it for a dime
Someone had another one he traded for a lime
We put the lime in the coconut and drank them both up
We put the lime in the coconut and drank them both up
We put the lime in the coconut and drank them both up
We put the lime in the coconut
and pray to God as to wake him up and say
"Doctor, is there nothing I can take
I say doctor... to relieve this bellyache
I say, doctor... is there nothing I can take
I say doctor... to relieve this bellyache?"
"Now let me get this straight:
you put the lime in the coconut and drank them both up
you put the lime in the coconut and drank them both up
you put the lime in the coconut and drank them both up
you put the lime in the coconut
and pray to me as to wake me up and say
'Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take
I say doctor... to relieve this bellyache
I say, doctor... ain't there nothing I can take
I say doctor... to relieve this bellyache?'
You put the lime in the coconut and drink them both together
Put the lime in the coconut, and you'll feel better
You put the lime in the coconut and drink them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning."
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo...
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo...
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo
Someone bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime

"Now let me get it straight:
You put the lime in the coconut and drink them both up
Put the lime in the coconut and drink them both up
Put the lime in the coconut and drink them both up
You put the lime in the coconut-- you're such a silly human
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both together
Put the lime in the coconut, and you'll feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both down
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me when you're flying."
la la la la la...
la la la la la...
I said "Woo woo woo woo... ain't there nothing I can take..."
I say "woo woo woo woo... to relieve the bellyache?"
I say "Woo woo woo... is there nothing I can take..."
I said "woo woo... to relieve the bellyache?"
I say "Ay, ay... is there nothing I can take..."
I said "oh oh... to relieve the bellyache?"
I said, "Doctor... is there nothing I can take?"
I say, "Doctor... is there nothing I can take?"
I say, "Doctor... is there nothing I can take?"
I said, "Doctor..."
"Well you're such a silly human!
Put the lime in the coconut and drink them both together
Put the lime in the coconut, and you'll feel better
You put the lime in the coconut and drink them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
Yes, you call me in the morning...
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do..."
