Pa-paya Mama Lyrics - 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! ) 

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!
