Lyrics

Gifted by the Goddess with the golden skin, him grew up in the fields wid him bredren and sistren
all de mamas shake their heads and say - what an unusual child!
him green and tall and strong they say, wid a big yellow head
oh him golden dreads would shine, while the children point and laugh and say

CHO Pineapple head, Pineapple head
ya got me going wid dat big yellow head, cmon
pineapple head, pineapple head - yeah (hey mon)
don't ya know him my friend
la la la . . .

him try to fit in the human world, studying hard and stay in school
but somewhere deep in him pineapple heart, him really want to depart
sitting in the schoolroom all alone, him come up with a plan
he'll walk down that pineapple row and be home again, c'mon

and den come the day when the school almost burned down from a chemical fire
pineapple juice was found at the scene, it doused everything, it doused everything!
the people were amazed and grateful too, and they swore there and then
we be makin fun of you, no more - no no - don't ya know him my friend?
Pineapple Head!
