The song "Coconut" by The Hit Crew is about a woman who has a belly ache and tries to cure it by putting limes in coconuts and drinking them. Her brother had bought a coconut for a dime, and her sister had bought a lime for it. She then took the lime and put it in the coconut and drank it all up to relieve her belly ache. When the belly ache persists, she calls the doctor and wakes him up. The woman asks the doctor if there's nothing that can relieve her belly ache, and the doctor tells her to put the lime in the coconut and drink them both together.
The lyrics of the song suggest that the coconut-lime mixture is a cure for stomach pains. However, the deeper meaning behind the song is to not take life too seriously and enjoy the moment in a light-hearted way. The song implies that life is uncomplicated, and it can be easy to solve problems if individuals do not overthink them.
