Lyrics:

(to the tune of “Clementine”)

If you want to eat a fruit
That’s sweet and spicy to the taste
Try an orange, ripe persimmon
But don’t let it go to waste

Eat an orange, ripe persimmon
Sweet and spicy to the taste
Eat an orange, ripe persimmon
But don’t let it go to waste

Try the Fuyu or Hachiya
Both of these come from Japan
These are two kinds of persimmons
And they don’t come in a can

Eat an orange, ripe persimmon
Sweet and spicy to the taste
Eat an orange, ripe persimmon
But don’t let it go to waste

Eat an orange, ripe persimmon
Sweet and spicy to the taste
Eat an orange, ripe persimmon
But don’t let it go to waste
