In the midday sun they beat on their drums
When Poppa Joe comes to town
With his coconut-rum they can all have fun
They can drink it 'till the sun goes down
Poppa Joe just smiles politely
With the money he takes he might be
Very rich one day as he hears them say
Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Poppa Joe coconut
Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
Poppa rumbo rumbo
Hey Pop-, Poppa, Poppa Joe
Never see a sad face
