Backstory:

While enjoying a nice vacation in Hawaii, we saw everyone enjoying these nice refreshing coconut drinks they were selling in the marketplace and on the beach for $5/ $10 a pop. Thinking we could save some money, my husband decided to hunt one down himself. Found a nice coconut palm tree on Kapa'a Beach and went at it! Took a branch, stick, whatever he could find to poke, prod, and smack it down.... No luck after 30 minutes... He threw rocks at it, rocked and shook the tree, tried to climb it... Finally after 45 min he was able to get one to plop down to the ground. This coconut "conquest" inspired this song.

Lyrics:
