Tally Hall - Banana Man lyrics

[spoken] Ladies and Gentlemen, Colonel PT Chester Whitmore is proud to present

Bung Vulchungo and the Zimbabwe Songbirds!

Do you see banana man

Hopping over on de 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

CHORUS:

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 de flame

Then we get to play de spirit game

Spirit names we shout out loud

Shake de thunder from the spirit cloud

All the songbirds in de tree

Chant a tune to let de spirits free

Then we see them in de night

Spirits jumping by de fire light

CHORUS

Look you

You too uptight, you know

You can laugh and kick it back and go (wheee)

But without a rhythm or a rhyme

You do not banana all de time

Fly away from city on de run

Try to make a little fun

Look you

Come to de bungalo

African't you tell me told you so

Dont you love de bumping of de drum

Make you shake until de bum go numb

Let de bongo play you till you drop

Dis banana never stop

Forget all your troubles and go with the flow

Forget about whatever you may never know

Like whether whatever you 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 stuck in a choke

And then forget about de yellow from de beckoning man

Who make you take another one and make a mock of your plan

Bungalay

Bungalo

Make up your mind

And tell me no

Well its nine o'clock

And its getting dark

And the sun is falling from the sky

I've never left so early

And you may wonder why

Tomorow morning on de plane

No banana make you go insane

Floating back to busy town

No banana make you want to frown

CHORUS
