 (Original Key: )
 Oh yes,  we have no bananas;
 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.
 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.
 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.
 Business got  so good  for him, that he  wrote home to-day;
 "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;
 (Oh yes,  we have no bananas),
 We have-a  no ba-nanas,  to-day.
 (We've got red  beans), (and carrots),
 (And celery),  (and olives),
 But we've  got no bananas to-day.
 Oh yes,  we no gotta da banana;
 We no gotta  da ba-nana  to-day.
