lyrics

Born in warm California
Toes frozen, I’ve chosen to bring you here
And your sister returns, rosie cheeks on icy creeks
She could skate all day
But I wanna sail away to where

Coconuts grow on trees by the seas, wouldn’t you like that?

Snow angels watch over you in your sleep
And you dream of the sun
You awake to a cold dark sky
Let’s go, let’s fly to where

Coconuts grow on trees by the seas, wouldn’t you like that?

Wouldn’t you like that?
Walkin’ hand in hand
Skippin’ in hot, hot sand
Let’s dive in and swim and waters where…

Coconuts grow on trees by the seas, wouldn’t you like that?

Coconuts, whoa, Coconuts

about

Louise Kelly Downers Grove, Illinois

Timeless. Soulful. Emotional. Colorful. Mother Nature infuses the music of Louise Kelly with the songs of birds and prairie breezes. Rooted and rising in Illinois, watered by the sounds from a cloud of Stevie Wonder, Emily King, James Blake, Chopin, Lake Street Dive, Led Zeppelin. Not hiding it under a bushel (no!) Music is light. Listen for the sunshine. And shine on, you crazy diamond. ... more
