Lyrics Yes! We Have No Bananas - Anthony Newley
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.
