Lyrics
The Princess Poo-poo-ly has plenty pa-pa-ya
And she loves to give it away
Now all of the neighbors they say
“Oh me-a, oh my-a, you really should try a
Little piece of the Princess Poo-poo-ly’s papaya
Now Princess Poo-poo-ly’s not truly unruly
To pass out papaya each day
For all of the neighbors they say
“She may give the fruit, but she holds on to the root
And so she has the root and the fruit to boot”
One bright Sunday afternoon
It was field day in her papaya groves
But I reached the gate an hour too late
The customers were lined up in droves
So, let this be a warning
Go early in the morning
And it is true you’ll never rue the day
The Princess Poo-poo-ly has plenty papaya
And she loves to give it away
I mean Papaya!
She loves to give it away
