"I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" is a novelty song composed in 1944 by Fred Heatherton, an English songwriter, and celebrates coconut shy (coconut toss) at fairs.

The song was first recorded by Danny Kaye, actor of such movies as White Christmas and The Court Jester. Kaye became aware of the song in a tour of the UK featuring performances at the Palladium and appearances in Royal Command Performances. In 1950, the song became Danny Kaye's only US chart hit. It was later recorded by Merv Griffin and other artists. The song is still played over the public address at Cambridge United football matches after home wins.

The song appeared on I Could Go On Singing, Judy Garland's last film. Ringo Starr also sang an impromptu version of the song in Magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles' TV special broadcast by the BBC on December 26, 1967.

Merv Griffin's recording with Freddie Martin and His Orchestra is often miscredited to Monty Python on the Internet. The Martin/Griffin version reached the Billboard retail Top 10 and is widely reported to be a million-seller.
