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 Each bite is just right for your appetite Now if you like-a the way I cook And if you like-a the way I look Then step inside my shady nook And you'll find mangos and papayas, anything your heart desires. 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 musical break Now if you like-a the way I cook And if you like-a the way I look Then step inside my shady nook And you'll find mangos and papayas, anything your heart desires. Mangos, papayas
