I've Got The "Yes! We Have No Bananas" Blues
Composer(s): Clarence Williams
Performer(s): Clarence Williams



Lately I've been off my nut
I keep hearing nothing but
"Yes, We Have No Bananas"
I would like to find the guy 
Who composed that lullaby
"Yes, We Have No Bananas"
I wish that I could go
To a cabaret or show
Where someone wouldn't come along
And sing that doggone song!

I've got the Yes We Have No Bananas Blues
I've got the blues
And when I hear it
Oh, how I fear it!
It's just like hearing bad news
It hasn't got a bit of sense
And I go wild when they commence
"Bananas! Bananas!"
I wish I could break up a million pianas!
Day by day and week by week 
It's "Yes, We Have No Bananas"
Every time that Greek meets Greek
It's "Yes, We Have No Bananas"
B! a! n! a! n! a!
Yes! No! Take 'em away!
I've got the "Yes, We Have No Banana" Blues today

Apricots and apples are good to eat
Potatoes and tomatoes can't be beat
Onions, cabashes, peaches and plums
I could stand for any kind of fruit that comes
Yesterday somebody kept on asking me
"Say, what's a wegistable what begins with "P"?
I gave it up and I asked him to tell 
When he said, "Pananas!" I just had to yell!
P! a! n! a! n! a!
Yes! No, no! Take 'um away!
I've got the "Yes, We Have No Bananas" Blues today
