There's a fruit store on our street

It's run by a greek

And he keeps good things to eat

But you should hear him speak

When you ask him anything he never answers no

He just yeses you to death

And as he takes your dough he tells you

Yes of course we have no bananas

We have no bananas today

We've string beans and onions

Cabbageses and scallions

And all kinds of fruit

And say

We have an old fashioned tomato

A long island potato

But yes we have no bananas

We have no bananas today

Business got so good with him

He wrote home today

Send me Pete and Nick and Jim I need help right away

When he got them in the store

There was fun you bet

Someone asked for sparrow grass

And then the whole quartet

All answered yes

We have no bananas

We have no bananas today

Just try those coconuts

Those walnuts

And doughnuts

There ain't many nuts like they

We'll sell you two

Kinds of red herring

Dark brown

And ball bearing

But yes

We have no bananas

We have no bananas today

You gotta thrumberry pie

Yes I don't think we got thrumberry pies

You gotta coconut pies

Yes I don't think we got coconut pies

Can I have one sip of coffee

We have no coffee

Oh what do you got

I gotta banana

Oooh you gotta bananas

Yes we gotta no banana

No banana no banana

We gotta no banana today

I sella you no banana
