I love this song from chidhood , we used to sing this melody to a " Church Harvest song' , and I'm trying to get the words , it went something like this : " Harvest Service come bring your offering , anything that you can , antyhing that you have is welcome , guava ,soursop ,pine............Oh ! what a day ...what a day .what a festival day , Oh ! what a day ...what a day ... what a festival day.
If you have the words , I'll greatly appreciate it ,cheers..Robin

We sing this at girl scout camp but we change a lot of the lyrics like it's "beat me momma don't beat me hit me not a quattie would sell" and there's hand motions including snapping and clapping.
My son loves this song. He does the action when we sing it. He is 20 months old.
