Milk From the Coconut

Ah, it's getting sour by the hour
(Cut me)
Tough nut, don't crack
Shake my tree and I'll attack
No cut, skin deep
Secrets that you try to keep
I say "hey, hey, you!"
Don't you break my shell
I say "hey, hey, you!"
'Cause I know you well
I say "hey, hey, you!"
Now I see the sign
I've got you finally beat
So baby walk those feet
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
Bye, bye, play thing
Did you have me dancing on a string?
Show time, bad turn
The party's over, took me time to learn
I say "hey, hey, you!"
Did you pop it again?
I say "hey, hey, you!"
Now your bullet's done
I say "hey, hey, you!"
You wanna shoot the fruit?
Well if you hit the shy
You're gonna run me dry

You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
Food for thought to make you hunger
(Coconut, it's taking the milk)
Nearly had me going under
(Coconut, it's taking the milk)
Turn me up and let me shaking
(Coconut, it's taking the milk)
Sneaking time but I was waiting
(Coconut, it's taking the milk)
You cut me down
(Coconut, it's taking the milk)
Who took the drink from everything?
(Coconut, it's taking the milk)
I'll give you hell, you broke my shell
Taking the milk, taking the milk
Taking the milk, taking the milk
Coconut!
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut
You take the milk from the coconut

Get the Milk From the Coconut mug.

in a coconutshell

A way of prefacing text that you originally started with saying "In a nutshell," because you thought it was gonna be conscise, but as it turned out, there was no quick way to say it.

There is very little space inside a nutshell, but there is a lot inside a coconut shell. So your long text needs a coconut shell. You could just erase the "In a nutshell," part, but that would make sense.

Someone: "Why is the US government making their students pay for their own college? That's why they're dumb. Other countries use tax money for higher education. But the US spends all its tax money on military. They also don't have mandatory military service. Why are so many people volunteering to do villainous shit if they don't have to??"

Someone else: "Well, in a nutshell, the issue with the free education and mandatory military service thing is that it's straightforward and honest. Dumb people care more about feeling like they're not being controlled than they do about anything else. If you exert power on them in any way that's upfront, it doesn't matter if it's fair. They'll fight you to the death. So it's better to just tell them they can't succeed if they don't go to college, make college unaffordable, then offer free college to anyone who joins the military voluntarily. That policy is effectively the same, except it puts the burden entirely on poor people. Anyone who's rich enough to pay for their own college can stay. Everyone thinks they're free."

The first someone: "That was not nutshell size."

Second someone: "Fine, I'll say 'In a coconutshell' next time."
