Down in the coconut trees

Workin' for the minimum wage 
All her friends back home in Jamaica

And her bended on her knees 
She wishes she was back in Jamaica 
Beneath the coconut trees

Penelope's back in the market 
She found what it was all about 
Oh no, she doesn't regret it 
She's just glad that she got out

But others aren't so lucky 
They're there till the day they die 
Trapped in steel and concrete 
No beach No moon No sky
