Lyrics

(Traditional chant)

Peas and the rice, peas and the rice,
Peas and the rice, done, done, done, done,
Peas and the rice,
Peas and the rice, done, done, done, done,
New rice and okra, eat some and left some,
New rice and okra, eat some and left some,
Peas and the rice,
Peas and the rice, done, done, done, done
