mango tree

. . . in the beginning good books say

god created night and day

tropical jungles coconut groves

bananas guavas avocados

but outside of eden according to me

most sacred of all mango tree

m a n g o licky your lips and say mango !

. . . eve climbed a mountain to adams' den

mango flower on curly head

basketfull of goodies smile so cute

angel from heaven in birthday suit

took adam to the garden where birds and the bees

saw them making love under mango tree

m a n g o licky your lips and say mango !

chase a bus catch a train sail a boat fly a plane

just to sink my teeth into ecstasy with mango juice running down my cheek . . .

. . . beethoven ate ‘em when he composed

and john and ringo paul and george

grass skirts hula ukuleles play

south sea beauties swirl and sway

hawaii to miami to carribean sea

people dancing round mango tree

m a n g o licky your lips and say mango !

oh mango fruit I worship you juicy and sweet soft and smooth

and when I die please bury me underneath green mango tree

m a n g o licky your lips and say mango !
