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!
