by Skatalite Joe & the Ginger Horns
“Three throws, one coconut, no luck, plenty of fun. Played at a fair with the actual coconut shy next to the stage.”

Lyrics
Down at the fair on a Saturday Throwing balls at the shy Three for a coin and I close one eye Watch that coconut fly Lucky throw, lucky throw Knock it down, here we go Lucky throw, lucky throw Win a goldfish, steal the show First one missed and the second one too Crowd is shouting my name Third one wobbles, third one falls Never was the same Lucky throw, lucky throw Knock it down, here we go Lucky throw, lucky throw Win a goldfish, steal the show Hey! Hey! Everybody cheer Little prize and big old grin Hey! Hey! Hold it up here Small win, let the fun begin Carry my goldfish home in a bag Dancing all down the street Little victory, sweet and small Happy to my feet Lucky throw, lucky throw Knock it down, here we go Lucky throw, lucky throw Win a goldfish, steal the show Lucky throw! Lucky throw!
