...YES! WE HAVE NO BANANAS... by Louis Prima ------------............... *CAPO 3rd FRET* (Original Key: Bb) Intro: Chorus 1: 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. Interlude: Verse 1: 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. Chorus 2: 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. Solo:       (x2) Interlude: Verse 2: 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; Chorus 3: (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.         (n.) Oh yes we no gotta da banana;       We no gotta da ba-nana to-day.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque un épicier qui, malgré l'absence de bananes dans son magasin, parvient à attirer les clients avec toute une variété de fruits et légumes. Il a un talent particulier pour discuter avec ses clients, répondant par des affirmations sans jamais dire non. Son commerce cartonne tellement qu'il doit faire appel à de l'aide pour gérer la clientèle. Le ton léger et humoristique de la chanson souligne la surprise face à l'absence de cet aliment si courant, tout en célébrant la diversité des autres mets qui sont disponibles. L'histoire se déroule dans un cadre amical et vivant, où l'interaction entre le commerçant et ses clients crée une atmosphère joyeuse.
