Lyrics

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! I go bananas
Everybody spin! I go bananas
Now can't you just feel that jungle beat getting under your skin? I go bananas
Everybody stomp! I go bananas
Everybody twist! I go bananas
Once you unpeel that jungle beat your feet can't resist! I go bananas

There's only one word to describe this state of mind.
So grab a taste of a tropical place and go - bananas!

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

I go bananas (scat)

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.
Now flex your muscles. Now B\beat your chest.
Dance like a monkey, eating what a monkey likes best!

I go bananas! Oooh!
