about
Fun little ditty with a little more behind it than just tropical fruit...
lyrics
When I was I young girl I would walk along the street
Down at the market, where they spoke a language I could never speak.
I listened to the music of their voices wafting through the air
And tried my best to start a conversation. I'd say:
One day I met a handsome boy who sold fish on the corner,
He smiled and spoke in words I could not understand
I looked at him, a sideways glance, and with a nod and wink
I blurted out the only words that I could think of. I said:
(Chorus)
I suddenly felt shy and so I bolted down the alleyway
and he came chasing right along behind me.
Caught me by the elbow, nearly knocked me off my feet,
And with the little breath he had left, he laughed out. He said:
(Chorus)
A month or two passed by and then he led me 'round a corner
Sat me on a bench and looked me in the eye,
He knelt down on one knee, opened up a sparkling box,
He slid the ring onto my finger as he said:
(Chorus)
Well, it's 20 years now that we have been married to this day,
And we have 7 lovely children.
On Sunday afternoons we all gather in our living room
Around our oldest girl at the piano. And we all sing:
(Chorus)
