Shake the Papaya Down

Mama says no play
This is a work day
Up with the bright sun
Get all the work done

If you will help me
Climb up the tall tree
Shake the papaya down

Sweet, sweet papaya
Fruit of the Island
When all the work's done
Dance on the white sands

If you will help me
Climb up the tall tree
Shake the papaya down

Shake them down
Shake them down
Climb the tall tree
Shake them down

Shake them down
Shake them down
Shake the papaya down
