|
Banana man, banana man
|
Don't come by here no more
|
So, I could keep my baby

Hm-hm-um-well, now come runnin' to the door
|
|
She love yo' banana
|
And buys them all the time

When you don't come by

Hoo-hoo-um well, she almost lose her mind
|
(piano & guitar)

'Now, kick it just a little while, boys'
|
|
'Another man don't want him to be comin' here no mo'
|
|
'Swing it, swing it, boys'
|
|
I moved over here
|
From the other side of town
|
Moved over here

Tryin' to keep that old banana man

|
Now, she got good credit (she does)
