Yes, We Have No Bananas

(Oh, yes) We have no bananas

We have no bananas today

We've got string beans and onions

And big juicy lemons and

All kinds of fruit and say

We've got an old fashioned to-mah-to

A Long Island po-tah-to

(Oh, yes) We have no bananas

We have no bananas today

There's a fruit man on our street

Whose name is Mister 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-a little beans and the big-a beans

And the red-a beans and the white-a 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 Pasqually, 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 fresh eggs

And the carrots

And celery

And olives

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)
