Banana Hymn Lyrics - Singles - Kevin Ayers

When it comes to discussing bananas, 

I am moved to extravagant praise; 

For the banana is firm and substantial, 

And may be used in a number of ways. 

With more presence than leeks or asparagus, 

And more charm than the brusque bamboo; 

The banana has style and a curious smile, 

Perceptible only to few. 

The banana is not a romantic, 

In the popular sense of the thing; 

Approach it without care or caution, 

And you trip on it's slippery skin.

So be aware of the gallant banana, 

When your tolerance seems to be thin; 

And instead of the boot or the bullet, 

Just put that banana in....
