Strange how your dangerous eyes compel me Although they tell me to beware And it's so strange how you change Every dull humdrum thing Making it something sweet and rare

Yes! We Have No Bananas Composer(s): Frank Silver; Irving Cohn Performer(s): Billy Jones; and various other artists
There's a fruit store on our street It's run by a Greek. And he keeps good things to eat But you should hear him speak! When you ask him anything, he never answers "no" He just "yes"es you to death, and as he takes your dough He tells you "Yes, we have no bananas We have-a no bananas today We've string beans, and onions Cabbageses, and scallions, And all sorts of fruit and say We have an old fashioned to-mah-to A Long Island po-tah-to But yes, we have no bananas We have no bananas today"
Business got so good for him that he wrote home today "Send me Pete and Nick and Jim; I need help right away" When he got them in the store, there was fun, you bet Someone asked for "sparrow grass" and then the whole quartet All answered "Yes, we have no bananas We have-a no bananas today Just try those coconuts Those walnuts and doughnuts There ain't many nuts like they We'll sell you two kinds of red herring Dark brown, and ball-bearing But yes, we have no bananas We have no bananas today"
Yes, we are very sorry to inform you That we are entirely out of the fruit in question The afore-mentioned vegetable Bearing the cognomen "Banana" We might induce you to accept a substitute less desirable But that is not the policy at this internationally famous green grocery I should say not No no no no no no no But may we suggest that you sample our five o'clock tea Which we feel certain will tempt your pallet? However we regret that after a diligent search Of the premises By our entire staff We can positively affirm without fear of contradiction That our raspberries are delicious; really delicious Very delicious But we have no bananas today
Yes, we gotta no banana No banana We gotta no banana today I sella you no banana Hey, Marianna, you gotta no banana? Why this man, he no believe-a what I say Now whatta you want mister? You wanna buy twelve for a quarter? No? well, just a oneofadozen? I'm-a gonna calla my daughter Hey, Marianna You gotta piana Yes, banana, no No, yes, no bananas today We gotta no bananas Yes, we gotta no bananas today
Stranded In The Jungle Composer(s): James Johnson - Ernestine Smith First release by: The Jayhawks - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists
I crashed in the jungle while trying to keep a date With my little girl who was back in the States I was stranded in the jungle, afraid, alone Trying to figure a way to get a message back home But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane Had been picked up and spotted and my girl in Lover's Lane
Meanwhile, back in the States
Baby, baby, let's make romance You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance He's stranded in the jungle, sad as he can be So come on pretty baby, just you and me
Meanwhile, back in the jungle
The boys in the jungle had me on the run When something heavy hit me like an atomic bomb When I woke up and my head started to clear I had a strange feeling I was cooking gear I smelled something cooking and I looked to see That's when I found out they was cookin' me Ooga booga, lemme outta here!
Meanwhile, back in the States
Baby, baby, let's make romance You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance He's stranded in the jungle sad as he can be So come on pretty baby just you and me
Meanwhile, back in the jungle
I jumped out of the pot, I finally got away I was frantic, worried about what my baby would say So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim My chance of surviving was gettin' slim So I thumbed down a whale that was headed my way And I reached the States in about half a day When I got to Lover's Lane I was almost dead Heard him talkin' to my baby, and this is what he said
Baby, baby, the man's no good Baby, baby, should have understood You can trust me just as long as you please So come back pretty baby where you used to be 'Cause I love you (I love you, I love you, you're fine baby) 'Cause I love you (So damn fine) 'Cause I love you (I got a job; I have money too) 'Cause I love you (Did I show you my vehicle) 'Cause I love you (I'll take you for a ride) 'Cause I love you

I am standing strong, I've overcome the sadness in my life Now I look up and see the brightest sky above me And it's reflecting in your eyes

Waar kan je liggen in het zand totdat je hele lijf verbrandt Waar kan je zuipen als een beest, waar vind je vrienden voor elk feest Waar kan je zwemmen als een rat, waar word je zelfs van binnen nat Dat is aan de rand van Nederland Dat is aan ons onvolprezen strand Daar kan je vrijen met je vrouw, wat nergens anders mogen zou Terwijl je kalm je krantje leest, je handen strelend om haar leest Daar speel je poker met een vriend totdat ie van ellende grient Daar springt de Randstad uit de band, dat is aan ons onvolprezen strand Je gaat er op de brommer heen en ligt dan plat to kwart voor een Dan ga je kijken naar een vrouw die je wel graag versieren zou Dan krijg je ruzie met haar man die heel toevallig boksen kan En met je tanden in je hand sjok je weer verder over 't strand Dan ga je even naar een tent en als je aangeschoten bent Dan loop je met een vriendenschaar een eindje langs de boulevard Dan komt er iemand op 't idee om te gaan zwemmen in de zee En gans door kwallen overmand ren je weer terug over het strand Maar 's middags om een uur of vier dan komt het toppunt van vertier Dan komt een vriend die auto rijdt eens kijken voor de aardigheid Dan ga je even met 'm mee een eindje rijen langs de zee Hij rijdt wel 100 met e'e'n hand en wuift met d'ander naar het strand Dan scheur je zingend langs de straat en vindt dat alles prachtig gaat Je trekt je hals eenvoudig krom, je kijkt naar alle meisjes om En vaders auto wordt vermoord, vakkundig in een boom geboord Dan sta je morgen in de krant en word beroemd op 't hele strand En 's avonds op het stille strand dan is er weer iets aan de hand Dan komt er een geweldig feest zoals er nooit een is geweest Dan wordt het strandvuur opgestookt waarop men lekker worstjes kookt En met transistors in de hand trekt heel de troep weer naar het strand De ene komt met flessen wijn, die smaakt verdacht veel naar azijn De tweede komt met z'n vriendin, die pikt de derde dan weer in De vierde brengt een zak patat met onderin een daverend gat De inhoud ligt verspreid in 't zand van driekwart kilometer strand Je danst en vrijt de hele tijd terwijl je in een broodje bijt En giet jenever in je kop, want anders dronk je pa het op Maar van die lading alcohol geraak je spoedig overvol Dan loopt de toestand uit de hand en blijf je liggen op het strand maar de politie arriveert voor je weer lopen hebt geleerd Zodat je kruipende ontvlucht achter een zuil jeneverlucht Dat wordt dan een immense rel die eindigt meestal in de cel En is men daar eenmaal beland, dan is 't weer rustig op het strand Maar 's ochtends lig je weer in 't zand totdat je hele lijf verbrandt Dan ga je zuipen als een beest, dan zoek je vrienden voor een feest Dan ga je zwemmen als een rat, dan wordt je zelfs van binnen nat Aan de rand van Nederland, aan ons onvolprezen strand Aan de rand van Nederland, aan ons onvolprezen strand Aan de rand van Nederland, aan ons onvolprezen strand
