Yes! We Have No Bananas

Текст песни Billy Jones - Yes! We Have No Bananas

Yes! We Have No Bananas LyricsThere'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!"
