My life is like a banana peel
My life is like a banana peel I’m always slipping and falling No matter how hard I try to heal I can’t escape the calling
The calling of the yellow skin That mocks me with its grin It waits for me to step on it And then it makes me spin
I wish I could avoid the peel Or peel it off the ground But it seems to have a strong appeal It follows me around
Sometimes I think I see the peel But it turns out to be a lie It’s just a trick of my mind A way to make me cry
But other times I don’t see the peel And that’s when it strikes the most It catches me off guard And makes me lose my post
My life is like a banana peel I’m always slipping and falling But maybe one day I will find A way to stop the crawling
Don’t cry, my dear, don’t shed a tear I know you love bananas They make you smile, they make you cheer They’re better than piñatas
But sometimes they are hard to find Or they are too expensive Or they are bruised or past their prime Or they are too extensive
Don’t you worry, don’t you fret I’ll always be your friend I’ll always try to get you some No matter what the trend
Search the markets, search the stores I’ll search the online shops I’ll even search the jungle floors And climb the mountain tops
I’ll do anything for you To see you happy and content You are my sunshine, you are my joy You are my sweetest scent
So don’t cry, my dear, don’t shed a tear I know you love bananas Just trust me, I’ll be back soon With a bunch of yellow manna
