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
