(Words & music by Bill Grant - Bernie Baum - Florence Kaye)
She sells sea shells by the seashore
But I know a girl who sells so much more
Queenie Wahine's Papaya rates
higher than pineapple, pumpkin or poy
Please pick her papaya put Queenie
Wahine in perfect perpetual joy
'Though some people's palates prefer pickled salads
For pudding pick popcorn peach pie
Oh Queenie's papaya you'll truly desire
When that Queenie Wahine passes by
Queenie Wahine's Papaya rates higher
than pineapple, pumpkin or poy
Please pick her papaya put Queenie
Wahine in perfect perpetual joy
'Though some people's palates prefer pickled salads
For pudding pick popcorn peach pie
Oh Queenie's papaya you'll truly desire
When that Queenie Wahine passes by
Queenie Wahine's Papaya rates higher
than pineapple, pumpkin or poy
Please pick her papaya put Queenie
Wahine in perfect perpetual joy
'Though some people's palates prefer pickled salads
For pudding pick popcorn peach pie
Oh Queenie's papaya you'll truly desire
When that Queenie Wahine passes by
