Spike Jones - Yes We Have No Bananas lyrics

I need not search for precious gold; Of wealth, I have my share For with my eyes, I scan the skies And find my fortune there A host of priceless dreams unfold In songs that bluebirds sing The earth, the sea belong to me I'm richer than a king To add to things that money cannot buy An echo brings this very soft reply: Yes! We have no bananas! We have no bananas today! We've string beans and onions Cabbages and scallions And all kinds of fruit and say; We have an old-fashioned tomato; Long Island potato; But, yes! We have no bananas! We have no bananas today! Yes, we no-nje gotta de bananos We no-nje gotta-da banano today, but one-a menoots! We gotta new kinda garlic When-a use-a dees garlic It-a make-a you stand apart-a from-a you friends We gotta 64, 000 watermelone! We don't-a sell any, but the guy we buy 'em from Mama mia! Does he sell a watermelone! But-a yes! We no-nje gotta de bananas. Hey, why you-on? We no-nje gotta de bananos today! Yes! Ah, we have no bananas! What's that? An half a banana? Now what good is a banana split? Uh-huh-huh-huh! We have muttons, and bu*tons And kippers with zippers And pounds of devaluated pounds Banana: S T I N K! They ain't no stinkin' bananas! Precisely! They ain't no stinking bananas! Yes! Ah, we have no bananas! Pip pip, cheerio, and Arthur Treacher! Uh-huh-huh-huh! Yes, we ain't got bananas We ain't got bananas today We got pickles and crocks; We got bagels and lox; A bagel that's-a done-a dipped in cement We got delicious knishes and kosher champagne The kosher champagne there's two cents plain; Pastrami, salami, matzos, and jam You should pardon the expression: We even got ham! But yes, we ain't got bananas We ain't got bananas today
