"Banana Man" lyrics
Ladies and gentlemen, Colonel P.T. Chester Whitmore is proud to present:
Bung Vulchungo and the Zimbabwe Songbirds!
Do you see banana man?
Hopping over on the white hot sand
Here he come with some for me
Freshly taken from banana tree
Banana man, me want a ton
Gimme double and a bonus one
Gimme more for all me friends
Dis banana flow will never end
Do you want a banana?
Peel it down and go, "Mm-mm mm-mm"
Do you want a banana?
Dis banana for you
Tonight we dance around the flame
Then we get to play the spirit game
Spirit names we shout out loud
Shake the thunder from the spirit cloud
All the songbirds in the tree
Chant a tune to let the spirits free
Den we see them in the night
Spirits jumping by the firelight
Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?)
Peel it down and go, "Mm-mm mm-mm"
Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?)
Dis banana for you
Look you, you're too uptight you know
You could laugh and kick it back it and go (whee)
But without a rhythm or a rhyme
You do not banana all the time
Fly away from city on the run
Try to make a little fun
Look you, come to the bungalow
African't you tell me, told you so
Don't you love the bumping of the drum?
Make you shake until the bum go numb
Let the bongo play you till you drop
Dis banana never stop (never stop, never stop)
Forget all your troubles and go with the flow
Forget about whatever you may never know
Like whether whatever you're doing is whatever you should
And whether anything you do is ever anything good
And then forget about banana when it stick in your throat
And when it make you wanna bellow but you're stuck in a choke
And then forget about the yellow from the beckoning man
Who make you take another one and make a mock of your plan
Bungalay, bungalow
Make up your mind and tell me no
Well it's nine o'clock and it's getting dark
And the sun is falling from the sky
I've never left so early
And you may wonder why
Tomorrow morning on the plane
No banana make you go insane
Floating back to Busytown
No banana make you want to frown
Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?)
Peel it down and go, "Mm-mm mm-mm"
Do you want a banana?
Dis banana for you
Bung Vulchungo and the Zimbabwe Songbirds!
Do you see banana man?
Hopping over on the white hot sand
Here he come with some for me
Freshly taken from banana tree
Banana man, me want a ton
Gimme double and a bonus one
Gimme more for all me friends
Dis banana flow will never end
Do you want a banana?
Peel it down and go, "Mm-mm mm-mm"
Do you want a banana?
Dis banana for you
Tonight we dance around the flame
Then we get to play the spirit game
Spirit names we shout out loud
Shake the thunder from the spirit cloud
All the songbirds in the tree
Chant a tune to let the spirits free
Den we see them in the night
Spirits jumping by the firelight
Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?)
Peel it down and go, "Mm-mm mm-mm"
Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?)
Dis banana for you
Look you, you're too uptight you know
You could laugh and kick it back it and go (whee)
But without a rhythm or a rhyme
You do not banana all the time
Fly away from city on the run
Try to make a little fun
Look you, come to the bungalow
African't you tell me, told you so
Don't you love the bumping of the drum?

Dis banana never stop (never stop, never stop)
Forget all your troubles and go with the flow
Forget about whatever you may never know

And whether anything you do is ever anything good

No banana make you want to frown
Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?)
Peel it down and go, "Mm-mm mm-mm"
Do you want a banana?
Dis banana for you
