Lyrics

Song: "Bananas." Played and sung by Congress-Woman Jackson Parker, dedicated to Tubman There's a fruit store on our street And is run by Greek And he keeps good things, you bet But you should hear him speak When you ask him anything He never answers "no," He just "yes"es you to death And then he takes your dough "Yes, we have no bananas We have no bananas today! We've string beans and onions Cabbages and scallions And all kinds of fruits, and say: We have that old-fashioned tomato Long Island potato But yes, we have no bananas We have no bananas today Yes, we have no bananas We have no bananas today We've string beans and onions Cabbages and scallions And all kinds of fruits and say We have that old-fashioned tomato Long Island potato But yes, we have no banana We have no bananas today." Business got so good with him He wrote home to say "Send me Pete and Nick and Jim; I need help right away." When he got them in the store There was fun you bet Someone asked for sparrow grass And then the whole quartet: "Yes, we have no bananas We have no bananas today String beans and onions Cabbages and scallions And all kinds of fruits, and say: We have that old-fashioned tomato Long Island potatoes But yes, we have no banana We have no bananas today "Yes, we have no banana We have no bananas today String beans and onions Cabbages and scallions And all kinds of fruits and say We have that old-fashioned tomato Long Island potatoes But yes, we have no banana We have no bananas today "Yes, we have no bananas We have no bananas today String beans and onions Cabbages and scallions And all kinds of fruits and say We have that old-fashioned tomato Long Island potatoes But yes, we have no banana We have no bananas today."
