4. The Papaya Song pt. 1
Mama says no play; This is a work day. Up with the bright sun; Get all the work done. IF you will help me, Climb up the tall tree, Shake the papaya down. Sweet, sweet papaya, Fruit of the Island, When all the works done, Dance on the white sands. If you will help me, Climb up the tall tree,

5. Shake them down,-- Shake the down,-- Climb the tall tree, shake them down.— Shake them down,-- Shake them down,-- Shake the papaya down. Mama says no play; This is a work day. Up with the bright sun. Get all the work done. If you will help me, Climb up the tall tree, I love papaya yes I do. Juicy Papaya yes I do.— If you will help me, I’ll help you.– Shake the papaya down.

6. Sweet, sweet papaya Fruit of the Island, When all the work’s done, Dance on the white sands. If you will help me, Climb up the tall tree Shake the papaya down. Shake the papaya down._________________-
