When I called the radio station to request this song the DJ rolled his eyes so hard I could hear it over the phone.
that is a good one Tim, you gave me a good laugh today, (but hey, I like this song too!)
I loved this song so much, still do!! My friend and I used to sing it to the top of our lungs, great memories!!
Damn all these years didn't know he did this song.😯
Now finally I can play guitar 😂
Should be: "Sister had another one she TRADE it for a lime"
Nilsson clearly says "she PAID it for de lime".
Practical Magic and I be day drinking with some bad ass bitches 😎
Okay let me get this straight... This guy bought a coconut for dime and his sister traded _her_ coconut for a lime. Then (I'm assuming they split the coconut in half), she took her half of the coconut milk and mixed it with the juice from the lime, drank it (from the coconut half, again I'm assuming), and it made her so sick she felt the need to call the doctor up (in the middle of the night mind you). The doctor, probably in a stupor from being woke in the middle of the night, repeats back to her everything she just told him word for word and the remedy he comes up with is to drink more of the same concoction that made her sick in the first place?!
Now I'm no doctor but my first thoughts would have been either the milk from the coconut or juice from the lime was bad or worse yet poisoned _OR_ that she was allegeric to one or the other. The _last_ thing I would suggest would be to drink more of what made her sick in the first place unless, of course, the doctor was so irate that someone had the gall to wake him up in the middle of the night to complain about something as trivial as a "belly ache" that he was merely being vindictive.
Still, if she was in so much discomfort that she felt the need to seek urgent medical attention he probably should not have been so dismissive out hand. So it boils down to two possibilities. The first being that he did not take her concerns seriously and was peturbed by being disturbed in the middle of the night. In which case he flippantly tells her to drink more of the same thing that made her ill in order to make her even more sick and teach her a lesson. This theory is supported by that fact he calls her "such a silly woman" to add insult to injury. If that was the case he was in direct violation of the Hippocratic oath every doctor must take whose main tenet is "to do no harm."
The other possibility is that he was just a really incompetent doctor. This could indeed be the case because apparently the story takes place in a location where people are buying coconuts for ten cents and using them for currency (ie. to trade for limes, etc.) Let's not forget, she had already "drank them both up" (and he knows this) so where was she supposed get more of this mix in the middle of the night? Even if we suppose she halved or portioned the lime in some way, whatever coconut milk that was available to her she completely finished the first time according to the song. Another clue that points to the fact that the doctor is indeed incompetent is that he ends up asking _her*_ if there's nothing she can take by the end of the song. In any event this doctor should have had his license to practice medicine revoked.
Furthermore, consider the brother. He is mentioned at the very beginning of the song and then we hear of him no more. Thus, I think it's safe to assume that he did *_not_* mix the two or lyrically it would have said, " _they_ put the lime in the coconut and drank it all up." Hence, we can isolate the problem being with the lime. So who sold, or rather, traded with her for the lime? It's unlikely that it was the man who sold her brother the coconut because even if he also sold limes he would have no need to trade for more coconuts. Therefore, we can deduce that there was another merchant that was selling the limes and limes are much more likely to go bad in the tropical heat if not properly refrigerated. Further still, it would be easy to inject a lime with poison in the event that the sister had spearned the advances of the lowly fruit vendor.
At the end of the day the song leaves many questions unanswered: Did the woman live? If *_I_* mix lime juice and coconut milk will *_I_* get sick? Is this a common drink in the area or did she come up with it on a whim? If it's a common drink, why did it make her sick? If you're not supposed to mix the two, why are you promoting it in a song with mixed messages: 1) Drink it and it will make you sick 2) Drink it and it well make you feel better. Does lime juice mixed with coconut milk even taste good? Did the sister invoke the wrath of the lime vendor by rejecting his affections?
A girl once told me that I "over-think" things. I replied "perhaps you don't thoroughly think things through enough!"
* 2:41 "Aint there nothing *_you_* can take... to relieve *_your_* belly ache?"
Yeah, you need to listen to that girl because you went waaaaay down the worm hole, but thank you because I agree with you!
Oh just smoke a blunt,you'll understand it,just like Harry did😂
I go to see Jimmy Webb (a renowned songwriter who wrote By The Time I Get To Phoenix) whenever he comes to town. One time after he finished playing the 'Phoenix' song he told us a story about a guy who came up to him after a show once with a bunch of notes and began explaining the flaws in his song because the distance between those cities was so far that he couldn't make it to Phoenix to Albuquerque and then to Oklahoma by the times that he mentions in the song...was that by chance you at that Jimmy Webb show?
