Lyrics and translation The Dead Milkmen - Smokin' Banana Peels

Smokin' Banana Peels

Burrow owl burrow owl burrow owl

Smokin' banana peels, see how it feels
Living is easy with ice cubes
The world is swimmin' with electric eels
Talk seriously to me brother
Smokin' banana peels, savin' the seals
There are four me's living all together
Got to keep an even keel
You've got to take life serially
Smokin' banana peels in between meals
I was all pumped up about the iron
Let's all pray get down and kneel

Smokin' banana peels sound like this

Mellow, it's so mellow
Mellow, it's so mellow
No! It's too mellow! ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
No! It's too mellow! ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Mellow, it's so mellow oh oh oh-oh oh
Mellow, it's so mellow
No! It's too mellow! ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
No! It's so mellow! ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Smokin' banana peels, nothin' is real
Mites are living in your eyelashes
People are makin' important deals
They're my fingernails and I'm keeping em
Smokin' banana peels, savin' the seals
(?)
Up and down between your heels
Dip your breasts in shimmering lip balm
Talk to me about Elvis
Take Elvis for walk and shut up

Peaux de banane fumantes

Hibou des terriers hibou des terriers hibou des terriers

Fumer des peaux de banane, vois comment ça se sent
Vivre est facile avec des glaçons
Le monde nage avec des anguilles électriques
Parle-moi sérieusement mon frère
Fumer des peaux de banane, sauver les phoques
Il y a quatre moi qui vivent tous ensemble
Il faut garder un cap stable
Il faut prendre la vie au sérieux
Fumer des peaux de banane entre les repas
J'étais tout excité à propos du fer
Prions tous, agenouillons-nous

Fumer des peaux de banane ça sonne comme ça

Doux, c'est tellement doux
Doux, c'est tellement doux
Non! C'est trop doux! ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Non! C'est trop doux! ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Doux, c'est tellement doux oh oh oh-oh oh
Doux, c'est tellement doux
Non! C'est trop doux! ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Non! C'est trop doux! ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Fumer des peaux de banane, rien n'est réel
Des acariens vivent dans tes cils
Les gens concluent des accords importants
Ce sont mes ongles et je les garde
Fumer des peaux de banane, sauver les phoques
(?)
En haut et en bas entre tes talons
Trempe tes seins dans un baume à lèvres chatoyant
Parle-moi d'Elvis
Emmène Elvis se promener et tais-toi
