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 have string beans and onions
Cabbages 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
Yes we have no bananas
We have no bananas today
We have string beans and onions
Cabbages 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
We have no bananas today
We have
No bananas
Today
