Mangos, papaya just nuts from the fire 
In my house of straw I have so much more 

Pie from the peach and I fix in the kitchen

Mangos, papayas, just nuts from the fire 
The food is so good, you will wanna stay 

Eat up and drink up and you'll think up 
The day when we say preacher man, okay

Now if you like-a the way I cook

Then step inside my shady nook 
And you'll find mangos and papayas, anything your heart desires. 

Mangos, papayas
