Hi Guys,
Let’s lighten our bleak world a bit by singing this song “The KOKOnut nut” that someone – I do not know who – wrote new lyrics for national artist Ryan Cayabyab’s hit song, Da Coconut Nut.
This is an example of satire wrapped in song.
Someday, I hope to acknowledge the lyrcist by name. When I tried singing it, it made my day.
Hope it makes your day, too.
I’ve added the YouTube video of the Madrigal Singers singing the original Ryan song at the end.
Da KOKOnut nut
By an unknown lyricist*
[sung to the tune of Da Coconut Nut by national artist Ryan Cayabyab]The KOKOnut nut is a giant nut
You can top da bar, but not very smart
Now, the KOKOnut nut is a big, big nut
But dis ambitious nut, is not a nutIt’s the KOKO fruit (it’s the koko fruit)
Of the NENE tree (of the nene tree)
From the PIMENTEL familyDa KOKOnut fruit to tell you da trut
Began a career dat was beri gud
