[Verse 1]
C#
She woke me up with a bang, bang Looking' over cross eyed had a big
G#sus4
Hunch that the world was a big lie
C#
When I got up all the blood to my head
G#sus4
I got so dizzy fell back into my bed
C#
I went over to the way side Looking for the high tide
G#sus4
What will I find will I find will I find
C#
All I saw was a man that had a hat
G#sus4
That had a pom-pom he's been there for
Years can someone tell me how long
[Chorus]

C#
You see this woman woke me up at a quarter to three
G#sus4
And I didn't know it then But she put a spell on me
C#
Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea
G#sus4
And meet an old man to present my plea
C#
So I headed way down to the big pier (big pier)
G#sus4
To await and confront my big fear (big fear)
C#
I wheeled around behind to my blindside
G#sus4
To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye
C#
Said mister, mister with your beard so long
G#sus4
Won't you be a saint and tell me Just where I'm going
C#
He pointed to a conk shell and then to the lime
G#sus4
And said this is all I really need to get by
[Chorus]

Coconut hit me on the head jonesin' for a fig
G#sus4 ||: C# G#sus4 :||2x
I got booked last night, I need another fix, dig
C#
Yeah, just then I see a twinkle twinkle
G#sus4
In the old man's eye and a wave Tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
C#
I caught it on the rebound
It landed with a soft sound
G#sus4
I took out the message and put the bottle down
C#
Inside was the antidote to the spell
G#sus4
And I read it to the man 'cause he couldn't read so well
C#
Said don't worry bout a thing you know you path is true
G#sus4
Just ease your mind have a banana or two
C#
Well goodness, goodness, woe is me
G#sus4
The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free
C#
But just before we Left and started kicking it (kicking it)
G#sus4
I picked up the bottle and star sixed it
C#
Kick kick shuffle shuffle back to the beach
G#sus4
With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach
C#
If that woman comes to you with her song so sweet
G#sus4
Say damn, let the poor sucker sleep
C#
Let him sleep
[Chorus]
