Yes We Have No Bananas

(专辑： Louis Prima Plays For The People - 1953)

(Oh, yes)
We have no bananas
We have no bananas today
We've got string beans and onions
And big juicy lemons and
All kinds of fruit and say

We've got an old fashioned tomato
A Long Island potato (Oh, yes)
We have no bananas
We have no bananas today

There's a fruit man on our street
Whose name is Mister Pete
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak
When you ask him anything
He never answers, "No"
He just yeses you to death and then he takes your dough

(Oh, yes)
We no got-a the banana
We no got-a the banana today
We got-a little beans and the big-a beans
And the red-a beans and the white-a beans
And all kinds of beans and say

We got-a the old fashioned salami
Mmm, we even got-a the Brooklyn pastrami (Oh, yes)
We no got-a the banana
We no got-a the banana today

Business got so good with him, he wrote home to say
"Send Pasqually, Nick, and Jim, I need help right away"
When he got them in the store, there was fun, you bet
Someone asked for bananas and then the whole quartet

(Oh, yes, we have no bananas)
We have no bananas today

We have fresh eggs
And the carrots
And celery
And olives
But we got no bananas today

Who asked you for bananas anyway?
Who asked you? I only want a hot dog sandwich
Hot dogs are better than bananas I always say, ain't it?

(Oh, yes)
We have no bananas
(We have no bananas today)
