I Like Bananas (Because They Have No Bones) - Henry Hall

Standing by the fruit store on the corner

Once I heard a customer complain

«You never seem to show the fruit we all love so

That’s why business hasn’t been the same

I don’t like your peaches

They are full of stones

I like bananas

Because they have no bones

Don’t give me tomatoes

Can’t stand ice cream cones

I like bananas

Because they have no bones

No matter where I go

With Susie, May, or Anna

I want the world to know

I must have by banana

Cabbages and onions

Hurt my singing tones

I like bananas

Because they have no bones"

Hello Mr. Durante, this is a surprise!

What are you doing here?

'What am I doing here?'

You ask me!

It’s mutiny, that’s what it is.

I come a million miles, a million of 'em, to see this London people,

and this is what I get.

It’s mortifying, that’s what it is.

This George fella

singing about bananas, bananas without any bones!

What do you suppose he’s

referring to?

There’s only one banana worth singing about, and that’s caught on

me, so don’t quote me on that.

It’s mortifying, it’s mutiny, it’s a disgrace,

that’s what it is.

Ah, words fail me."

Well, don’t let it get you, Mr. Durante, listen to George sing this chorus

«Ach, all the famous folksmen

Even they are known

They like their bananas

Because they have not any bone

It’s everybody’s weakness

It might be your end

Don’t you like bananas?

Because they never any bone

Man, there’s something in bananas

That gives you that strange feeling

Nobody can resist them

They are self peeling!

Hah!

Those healthy

They all eat bananas

Because they have not any bones"
