Pa-Paya Mama Perry Como

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya
You're comin' home with me . . . yip!

My sweet pa-paya mamma wears a bamboo skirt
She dances barefoot an' her feet don't hurt
We drink pa-pays by the moonlit shore
And when we kiss she hollers "More, More, More!"

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you're comin' home with me! ( Yip! )

I came to Cuba for a holiday, pa-paya mama took her heart away
Vacation's over and it's time to go, and when we kiss she hollers "No, No, No!"

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you're comin' home with me! ( Yip! )

Instrumental break

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya
You're comin' home with me . . . yip!

My island queen I'll build a hut for you
The floors an' doors will be the best bamboo
And 'neath the Louisiana moon above
We'll sip pa-paya and we'll love, love love!
