I always wandered, pondered, and I asked, why the banana
Should be surged upon to have a bad name, a bad name
Walk, walk, slip, flip, fall that is it, it has a bad name
Never mind, he who chooses, not to look down
Did not look. Stop, look, listen, you did not look
Oh, gosh that’s it, he has a bad name
And there we go, you took your eyes off the ball
There we have it, there he does it
A bad name, Keyser Soze
So again and again, I will get Poirot
To set the record straight, I mean why
Why blame the banana, t' usual suspect
Where placed a crime scene notice on the post
With all due respect "Sir!"
The banana, the banana?
You see legend has it, as the story goes
Two men came into contact with
The banana, the banana
Well, a lot more than two and a monkey
If you choose to be picky, add Super Mario
I mean why be picky it’s just a story
So two it is, two men
I say, two it is, sue me, boo hoo
In this story just t' two, I am t' story teller, telling
Anyway two men came into contact
With the banana, which found itself
At the crime scene, chalked around for evidence
The story goes... one unplugged the banana
So yellow, ripe and tempting
That's why, not I say, dare I say
That's why, not I say, dare I say
A woman, "naughty minds
You lot, naughty minds"
He pushed it down his throat
And in the excitement he dropped
The yellow peel down on the road in trivial thoughts
The story goes, as I was saying
The second man walked by
In dream state, up in the air, clouds daydream
He stepped on the banana and went flying off
A mystery that holds, the accused banana
Why is the banana to be blamed
The banana, the banana
I always wondered why the banana
Should have so significant a bad name
I would get Poirot to investigate this strange
This strange, this strange
Bananarama, drama
A story of sort
This strange, this strange
Bananarama, drama
A story of sort
I like the idea of standing up for the ever-to-blame banana..
