Florida By The Sea 1925 "The Cocoanuts"

Down in the land of the cocoanuts
before the welcome season shuts,
a million "million dollar nuts"
will be found;
down in the land
where the trees are tall,
we're asking you to pay a call
and live where it is summer all
the year round.
Buy a lot any piece that we've got;
will increase ev'ry season;
ask us why ev'ryone
wants to lie in the sun;
there's a reason.
One little ride in a Pullman car
a night and day and there you are,
come on it's time
you should be Florida bound.

In the lovely land of Florida
Sunny Florida by the sea.
All the sunshine in America is in Florida
you'll agree.
When they're freezing up north
sneezing up north
always it's July the Fourth
in the lovely land of Florida
Sunny Florida by the sea.

In the lovely land of Florida
Sunny Florida by the sea.
All the sunshine in America is in Florida
you'll agree.
When they're freezing up north
sneezing up north
always it's July the Fourth
in the lovely land of Florida
Sunny Florida by the sea.
