Yes, We Have No Bananas! |
| There’s a fruit store on our street |
| It’s run by a Greek |
| And he keeps good things to eat — but you should hear him speak! |
| When you ask him anything, he never answers «no» |
| He just «yes's» you to death, and as he takes your dough he says |
| «Yes, of course, we have no bananas |
| We have no bananas today! |
| We’ve string beans and onions — |
| Cabbages and scallions |
| And all kinds of fruit and say — |
| We have an old fashioned tomato |
| A Long Island potato! |
| But, Yes! |
| We have no bananas |
| We have no bananas today!" |
| Business got so good for him, he wrote home to say: |
| «Send Pete, 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 answered |
| «Yes! |
| We have no bananas |
| We have no bananas today! |
| Just buy those cocoanuts, those walnuts, and doughnuts |
| There aren’t many nuts like they |
| We’ll sell you two kings of red herring — |
| Dark brown, and ball-bearing |
| But, Yes! |
| We have no bananas |
| We have no bananas today!" |
