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.
Hey, Poppa Joe.
Hey, Poppa Joe.
Hey, pop-, Poppa, Poppa Joe.

Never see a sad face in the market-place
when poppa Joe comes around,
for his coconut taste you can see them race
thru' the streets you can hear the sound
of the ladies laughing gaily, Poppa Joe still thinking may be
he'll always hear the people say:

Poppa rumbo...
