Coconut Oil

Here’s an emotion
let’s jump into an ocean
of lotion
of coconut oil, coconut oil, coconut oil

I got a fella
his heart is full of mushrooms
he drinks
coconut oil, coconut oil, coconut oil

I’m not talking jive
come with me and dive
swim alive
in coconut oil, coconut oil, coconut oil

Don’t be all dry
when you can be all wet
night and day
in coconut oil, coconut oil, coconut oil

Try to see it my way
everyday’s a holiday
when you sing
coconut oil, coconut oil, coconut oil


Song from “Coconut Oil” (2016), performed by Penina in the novel by Joe Linker, a sequel to “Penina’s Letters,” page 189.
