This song came out in the 70's I believe. It was kind of a reggae, or Jamaican
type singer. I don't think he did any other songs, but I am just trying to
find out the name of the song and/or artist. Only line I can remember is: "you
put the lime in the coconut, and drink it all up".

I'll tell you what to do if you call me in the morning.
I'll tell you what to do and if you call me in the morning
I'll tell you what to do.

Never mind the song: what is that "introduction" by Harry Nilsson before the
actual music starts?
