Banana Man - Tally Hall

(Ladies and gentleman, Colonel PT 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

Give me double and a bonus one

Give me 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 a flame

Then we get to play 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

Then we see them in the night

Spirits jumpin' by the fire light

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 can laugh and kick it back and go

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 don’t 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 are 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 they make you wanna bellow but you’re stuck in a choke

And you forget about the yellow from the colorful 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 busy town

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
