The Papaya Song - Growing up I remember my mom used to sing along to the radio. There was one song in particular, performed by Perry Como, or someone like that, that always puzzled me because between each line, there were lots of "papayas". There was also a guy named "Hugh" mentioned in the song. Here is the song: I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter, papaya papaya and make believe it came from Hugh I'm gonna write words oh so sweet, pa papaya There gonna knock me off my feet, pa papaya A lotta kisses on the bottom I'll be glad I gottom I'm gonna smile and say I hope Hugh's feelin better papaya papaya and close with love the way Hugh do I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter pa papaya and make believe it came from Hugh
