Verse:

I know of a place po -ets write a -bout, An is -land of dreams they de -light a -bout,

Where the birds on high sing a song to us And the earth and sky be -long to us;

There's a grove of palm trees grow -ing by the sea, Beck -on -ing to you and me:

 

Chorus:

There's a co -coa -nut grove where life is en -tranc -ing And there sweet -heart, we'll find ro -manc -ing

And love for two By the light of a south -sea is -land moon;

There's a co -coa -nut grove where your hap -py lov -er will do his part And soon dis -cov -er

A ren -dez -vous In the shel -ter of a trop -i -cal la -goon;

Palm trees will be sway -ing While steel gui -tars are play -ing;

Be -lieve what I'm say -ing, Dear, I swear it's true;

There's a co -coa -nut grove where I'll be con -fess -ing the sim -ple truth that you've been guess -ing,

sweet -heart, I love but you.
