Yes! We have no bananas
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a fruitshop down our street,
It's run by a Greek,
And he sells good things to eat,
But you should hear him speak,
When you ask him anything,
Never answers "No",
He just yesses you to death,
And as he takes your dough he tells you:
Refrain:
Yes! We have no bananas,
We have no bananas today.
We've stringbeans, and onions,
Cabbages and scallions
And all kind of fruit, and say,
We have an old fashioned tomato
Long Island potato,
But yes! We have no bananas,
We have no bananas today!
Things were going well with him,
He wrote home to say,
Send me Mike and Pete and Jim,
I need them right away,
When he got them in the shop,
There was fun, you bet,
'Cause when you asked them anything,
They answered in quartet: Oh,
Refrain:
Yes! We have no bananas,
We have no bananas today.
We've stringbeans, and onions,
Cabbages and scallions
And all kind of fruit, and say,
We have an old fashioned tomato
Long Island potato,
But yes! We have no bananas,
We have no bananas today!
