Lyrics
(Oh yes)
We have no bananas
We have no bananas today
We got string beans and onions
And big juicy lemons
And all kinds of fruit and say
We've got an old fashioned tomato
A Long Island potato
(Oh yes)
We have no bananas
We have no bananas today
There's a fruit man on our street
Whose name is Mr. Pete
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak
When you ask him anything
He never answers "no"
He just yeses you to death
And then he takes your dough
(Oh yes)
We no got-a the banana
We no got-a the banana today
We got little beans and the bigger beans
And the red beans and the white beans
And all kinds of beans and say
We got-a the old fashioned salami
Mmm, we even got-a the Brooklyn pastrami
(Oh yes)
We no got-a the banana
We no got-a the banana today
Business got so good with him
He wrote home to say
"Send Pasquale, Nick, and Jim
I need help right away"
When he got them in the store
There was fun, you bet
Someone asked for bananas
And then the whole quartet
(Oh yes, we have no bananas)
We have no bananas today
We have peppers and-a carrots
And celery and onions
But we got no bananas today
Who asked you for bananas anyway? Who asked you? I only want a hot dog
Sandwich. Hot dogs are better than bananas, I always say, ain't it?
(Oh yes)
We have no bananas
(We have no bananas today)
