Yes! We Have No Bananas Lyrics - Anthony Newley

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 "yes"es you to death, and as he takes your dough 

He tells you 

"Yes, we have no bananas 

We have-a no bananas today. 

We've string beans, and onions 

Cabbageses, and scallions, 

And all sorts of fruit and say 

We have an old fashioned to-mah-to 

A Long Island po-tah-to 

But yes, we have no bananas. 

We have no bananas today."

Business got so good for him that 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-a 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."

Yes, we are very sorry to inform you 

That we are entirely out of the fruit in question 

The afore-mentioned vegetable 

Bearing the cognomen "Banana". 

We might induce you to accept a substitute less desirable, 

But that is not the policy at this internationally famous green 

grocery. 

I should say not. No no no no no no no. 

But may we suggest that you sample our five o'clock tea 

Which we feel certain will tempt your pallet? 

However we regret that after a diligent search 

Of the premises 

By our entire staff 

We can positively affirm without fear of contradiction 

That our raspberries are delicious; really delicious 

Very delicious 

But we have no bananas today. 

Yes, we gotta no banana 

No banana 

We gotta no banana today. 

I sella you no banana. 

Hey, Marianna, you gotta no banana? 

Why this man, he no believe-a what I say. 

Now whatta you want mister? 

You wanna buy twelve for a quarter? 

No? well, just a oneofadozen? 

I'm-a gonna calla my daughter. 

Hey, Marianna 

You gotta piana 

Yes, banana, no 

No, yes, no bananas today 

We gotta no bananas. 

Yes, we gotta no bananas today.
