We have-a no ba-nanas, to-day.

                          
We've got string beans and onions,
    
And big juicy lemons,
                          
 And all sorts of fruit and say;

                         
We got an old fashioned to-mah-to,
                     
A Long Island po-tah-to.
                              
But yes, we have no bananas;
                      
We have-a no ba-nanas, to-day.

Verse 1:

                                                    
 There's a fruit store, on our street, who's name is Mr. Peach.
                                                     
 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 then he takes your dough.

Chorus 2:

                             
Oh yes, we have no bananas;
                      
We have-a no ba-nanas, to-day.

                                 
We've got a-little beans, and the bigger beans,
      
And a red beans, and the whiter beans,
                          
 And all kinds of beans and say;

                         
We got an old fashioned sa-lami;
                                  
 We even got the Brooklyn pa-strami.
                                
Oh yes, we no gotta da banana;
                      
We no gotta da ba-nana to-day.

Verse 2:

 "Send me Pete and Nick and Jim; I need help right a-way."
                                              
 When he got them in the store, there was fun, you bet.
                                               
 Someone asked for ba-nanas, and then the whole quart-et;
