Subject: Lyr Add: I LIKE BANANAS (BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO BONE From: Jim Dixon Date: 05 Jun 03 - 10:24 PM Lyrics and chords copied from http://www.5thaurora.com/campfire/index32.html. I corrected the words a bit to make them correspond to the sheet music at http://www.hoosierhotshots.com/ilikebananas.html. That page also has some "parody" verses (How can you parody something this silly?) that are not included in the sheet music. I LIKE BANANAS (BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO BONES) (Chris Yacich)

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I Like Bananas From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 06 Jun 03 - 12:34 AM The Chorus - a favorite of my mothers. I never imagined it to be a "real song," or, to even have words beyond the chorus. Wow! This is trip down a memory lane that was completely forgotten. Sincerely, Gargoyle |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I Like Bananas From: GUEST,Andrew Date: 06 Jun 03 - 05:39 PM Just to repeat but I saw MAN perform their version at Birmingham University mid 70s and it has lived with me ever since, as has the vistion of them driving through Edgbaston at 7;00 in the morning in a soft top. Cant quite reconcile my love of folk music with my love of that event but there we are ... or as we say in Welsh Dyma Ieaun Andrew |

Subject: ADD: I Like Bananas (Because They Have No Bones) From: Jim Dixon Date: 21 May 13 - 09:05 AM I LIKE BANANAS (BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO BONES) As sung by Billy Cotton on "Vintage Comic Music of the '20s & '30s" Standing by the fruit store on the corner, Once I heard a customer complain: You never seem to show The fruit we all love so. That's why business hasn't been the same. I don't like your peaches; they are full of stones, But I like bananas because they have no bones. Don't give me tomatoes; can't stand ice-cream cones, But I like bananas because they have no bones. No matter where I go, With Suzy, May, or Anna, I want the world to know I must have my banana. Cabbages and onions hurt my singing tones, But I like bananas because they have no bones. Now I don't care for muffins; I don't like buttered scones, Ah, but I like bananas because they have no bones. I don't like giggling flappers; I don't like ancient crones, But I like bananas because they have no bones. And fig leaves and bearskins That you girls often trip on, Why not have banana skins? They're easy things to slip on. I can't bear tax collectors, especially one who phones, But I like bananas because they have no bones. I don't like a crooner; of the blues he moans, But we like bananas because they have no bones. I don't like politicians; they're human gramophones. We like bananas because they have no bones. I never cared for drink. To me it seems so sinful. Though when you come to think, Bananas get a skinful. I don't like the bagpipes and I can't stand saxophones. We like bananas because they have no bones. |

Sincerely, Gargoyle (It seems like a vaudville sketch with references to Jimmey Durante - I first heard it about 1953) It is well after midnight and this song chorus is racing through my mind.
