Lili's Quick Polynesian Summary

The group of islanders that we will be visiting are collectively known as
Polynesians. Many believe that the Polynesians first came to their respective
islands from Southeast Asia. Also, many historians believe that there is a
distinct possibility that Native Americans and Polynesians are related.
One group, Native Americans, traveled by land through the
Bering Strait. The Polynesians set course on the high seas. Both groups
are thought to have originated from the same place. The Polynesian
people comprise six groups: Maori, Samoan, Fijian (some do not consider
them an actual member of the group), Tahitians, Tongans, and Hawaiians.
Throughout their storied history, Polynesians have kept the traditions of
the "old island" with the blend of modern living. Their ability to blend
both lifestyles has allowed for more opportunities and holding on
to traditions that have been passed down through the generations.
Please join us today in learning more about them. Also, come with us
to enjoy the many activities and locations that they have shared with the
world. Enjoy yourself!

Do you ever put a Lime in with your coconut?

 

 

           

 

 

 

 

 

 

I never thought that the Muppets could sing this badly.

 

 

 

 

 

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another, she paid it for a lime.
She put the lime in the coconut, and drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, and drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut,
Called the doctor, woke him up, and said,
"Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"

"Now let me get this straight;
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut,
called your doctor, woke him up, and said,
'Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?'

You put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both down,
You put the lime in the cocount, you're such a silly woman!
Put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both together,
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning."
