[Verse 1]
It's a swamp, just a jungle
Tigers slipping through all the time
Snakes and alligators
Want to have a piece of what is mine
[Verse 2]
I don't pay no attention
To the nastiness going down
Just above me, within my reach
There's plenty of good things hanging 'round
[Chorus]
Fruit on the vine
Ice water fountains
Fruit on the vine
Fruit on the vine
[Verse 3]
I reach up for an apple
I grab an orange by mistake
I don't mind, it's alright
In the jungle, I get what I can take
Got a taste for watermelon
A taste of pomegranate too
[Verse 4]
Got a taste for watermelon
A taste of pomegranate too
Never mind, I'll take a cherry
Any ripe and juicy one will do
[Verse 5]
My mouth is full, my face is messy
I'm feeling better with each bite
I take a break for just a minute
But nothing satisfies my appetite
[Chorus]
Fruit on the vine
Ice water fountains
Fruit on the vine
Fruit on the vine
[Outro]
Fruit on the vine
Fruit on the vine
