Pa-Paya Mama Songtext
von 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!

Pa-paya, pa-paya, pa-paya, paya, paya
Pa pa pa-paya!

In time we'll raise a little family
To play beneath the new pa-paya tree
We′ll send your papa fifty-cent cigar
'Cause he′s a proud pa-paya grand-pa-pa!

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

Pa-paya, pa-paya, pa-paya!
