I Go Bananas

from Client Songs (playlist) by Monty Harper

lyrics

For the Los Angeles Unified School District, 2006

When a certain sweet smell blows in on the breeze
I lift my head and bend my knees,
Then I leap up like a lemur
Searching high among the trees.
I swing by my toes. I follow my nose
'Til I find that fruity treat.
I pick a bunch to begin, then peel back the skin, and...

I go bananas for bananas.
Bananas give me energy.
Whenever I eat bananas I go bananas.
I go bananas for bananas.
Bananas give me energy.
Whenever I eat bananas I go
Bananas!

Swing your arms. Wiggle your tail.
Dance like a monkey. Follow the banana trail.

There's a certain sweet taste I find appealing
When I get it it's a happy, silly feeling
And it makes me wanna jump around like a chimpanzee
'Til my mother hits the ceiling.
And every morning she gives me warning.
She makes me take a seat.
She says, "Your fate will follow from what you swallow, after all, you are..."

Bananas for bananas.
Bananas give me energy.
Whenever I eat bananas I go bananas.
I go bananas for bananas.
Bananas give me energy.
Whenever I eat bananas I go
Bananas!

Clap your hands. Scratch a flea.
Dance like a monkey, climbing a banana tree.

Everybody jump! Everybody spin!
Now can't you just feel that jungle beat getting under your skin?
Everybody stomp! Everybody twist!
Once you unpeel that jungle beat your feet can't resist!
There's only one word to describe this state of mind.
So grab a taste of a tropical place and go - bananas!

Bananas for bananas.
Bananas give me energy.
Whenever I eat bananas I go bananas.
I go bananas for bananas.
Bananas give me energy.
Whenever I eat bananas I go
Bananas!

I go Bananas! (repeat)
Swing your arms. Wiggle your tail.
Dance like a monkey. Follow the banana trail.
Clap your hands. Scratch a flea.
Dance like a monkey, climbing a banana tree.
Flex your muscles. Beat your chest.
Dance like a monkey, eating what a monkey likes best!
Bananas!
