Analysis of Me Wanna Pick Some Fruit
Mama,
These girls
Here in Jamaica
Are very pretty
Them got
Long jett black
Curly hair
Butter brown skin
Ivory white smile
I think
I am
In love with them
Them bodies shaped
Like a glass coke cola bottle
Them walk around here
Basking in the yellow sunshine
Mama, them girls here
Too good for me
To let them go home
Me wanna pick some fruit
On this island of Jamaica
