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!" |
