Spike Jones - Yes We Have No Bananas Lyrics
I need not search for precious gold;Of wealth, I have my share.For with my eyes, I scan the skiesAnd find my fortune there.A host of priceless dreams unfoldIn songs that bluebirds sing.The earth, the sea belong to meIm richer than a king.To add to things that money cannot buy,An echo brings this very soft reply:Yes! We have no bananas!We have no bananas today!Weve string beans and onions,Cabrillas and scallions,And all kinds of fruit and ****.We have an old-fashioned tomato;Long Island potato;But, yes! We have no bananas!We have no bananas today!Yes, we no-nje gotta de bananos.We no-nje gotta-da banano today, but one-a menoots!We gotta new kinda garlicWhen-a use-a dees garlic,It-a meka you stand apart-a from-a you friends.We gotta 64,000 watermelone!We dont-a sell any, but the guy we buyem fromMama mia! Does he sell a watermelone!But-a yes! We no-nje gotta the bananas. Hey, why you-on?We no-nje gotta de bananos today!Yes! Ah, we have no bananas!Whats that? An half a banana?Now what good is a banana split? Uh-huh-huh-huh!We have a muttons, and buttons,And kippers with zippers,And pounds of devaluated poundsBanana: S T I N K !They aint no stinkin bananas!Precisely! They aint no stinking bananas!Yes! Ah, we have no bananas!Pip pip, cheerio, and *******! Uh-huh-huh-huh!Yes, we aint got bananas.We aint got bananas today.We got pickles and crocks;We got bagels and locks;A bagel thats-a done-a dipped in cement.We got delicious knishes and kosher champagneThe kosher champagne theres two cents plain;Pastrami, salami, matzos, and jam.You should pardon the expression: We even got ham!But yes, we aint got bananas.We aint got bananas today.
