Lately I've been off my nut
I keep hearing nothing but
"YES! We have no bananas"
And I'd like to find the guy who composed that lullaby
"YES! We have no bananas"
I wish that I could go to a cabaret or show
Where someone wouldn't come along and sing that doggone song
I've got the YES! we have no banana blues
I've got the blues
And when I hear it, oh how I fear it
It's just like hearing bad news
It hasn't got a bit of sense
And I go wild when they commence
"Bananas, bananas"
I wish I could break up a million pianos
Day by day and week by week it's "Yes, we have no bananas"
Every time that Greek meets Greek it's "Yes, we have no bananas"
B-A-N-A-N-A
Yes, no, take them away
I've got the YES! we have no banana blues today
"Yes, we have no banana! We have no bananas today!"
Stop! You fellas better get off the corner or I'll call the cops
Why, you've got me crazy
I can't stand it any longer
"What's the matter with you, mister?"
I'll tell you what's the matter with me
I've got the YES! we have no banana blues
I've got the blues
And when I hear it, oh how I fear it
It's just like hearing bad news
It hasn't got a bit of sense
And I go wild when they commence
"Bananas, bananas"
I wish I could break up a million pianos
Day by day and week by week it's "Yes, we have no bananas"
Every time that Greek meets Greek it's "Yes, we got no bananas"
B-A-N-A-N-A
Yes, no, take them away
I've got the YES! we have no banana blues today
