The Fruit Man

歌詞

The fruit man sold the guava to the black man The black man peeled the skin with the bare hand A juice man took a stand with the fruit man And they cooked up the fish brought in fresh from the ocean The fish man sold an axe to the boat man A chinaman caused a scene with the black man Accused him of selling fish that was frozen The black man yelled at the chinaman "It is not broken. It is not frozen. The fish it was just caught in the ocean. I do not steal. Don't breathe another sound Or I'll take back that fish and return it to the ocean." The fruit man consoled the black man The boatman explained to the chinaman And it was dark, really dark, with the sun down And the fish they swam, they swam in the ocean
