Sweet Lyrics
"Poppa Joe"

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.
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
thru' the streets you can hear the sound
of the ladies laughing gaily
Poppa Joe still thinking may be
he'll always hear the people say:

Poppa rumbo...
