Lyrics
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 bus’ness hasn’t been the same
Chorus
I don’t like your peaches, they are full of stones
I like bananas, because they have no bones
Don’t give me tomatoes, can’t stand ice-cream cones
I like bananas, because they have no bones
No matter where I go, with Susie, May or Anna
I want the world to know, I must have my banana
Cabbages and onions, hurt my singing tones
I like bananas because they have no bones
