No Bananas

Song: "Bananas." Played and sung by Congress-Woman Jackson Parker, dedicated to Tubman

There's a fruit store on our street
And is run by Greek
And he keeps good things, you bet
But you should hear him speak

When you ask him anything
He never answers "no,"
He just "yes"es you to death
And then he takes your dough

"Yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today!
We’ve string beans and onions
Cabbages and scallions
And all kinds of fruits, and say:
We have that old-fashioned tomato
Long Island potato
But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today
Yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today
We've string beans and onions
Cabbages and scallions
And all kinds of fruits and say
We have that old-fashioned tomato
Long Island potato
But yes, we have no banana
We have no bananas today."

Business got so good with him
He wrote home to say
"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:

"Yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today
String beans and onions
Cabbages and scallions
And all kinds of fruits, and say:
We have that old-fashioned tomato
Long Island potatoes
But yes, we have no banana
We have no bananas today

"Yes, we have no banana
We have no bananas today
String beans and onions
Cabbages and scallions
And all kinds of fruits and say
We have that old-fashioned tomato
Long Island potatoes
But yes, we have no banana
We have no bananas today

"Yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today
String beans and onions
Cabbages and scallions
And all kinds of fruits and say
We have that old-fashioned tomato
Long Island potatoes
But yes, we have no banana
We have no bananas today."
