Now I’m puzzled by an old song ‘picking up pawpaws and putting them in your pocket’.
😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Edit: Found the lyrics.

Where, oh, where is sweet little Nellie?
Where, oh, where is sweet little Nellie?
Where, oh, where is sweet little Nellie?
Way down yonder in the paw paw patch
… Come on, boys and let's go find her
Come on, boys and let's go find her
Come on, boys and let's go find her
Way down yonder in the paw paw patch
… Pickin' up paw paws, put 'em in your pocket
Pickin' up paw paws, put 'em in your pocket
Pickin' up paw paws, put 'em in your pocket
Way down yonder in the paw paw patch
