The Banana Man

image

The Banana Man - to the tune of Piano Man by Billy Joel. Also there’s this: Man in Banana suit arrested for indecent exposure

It's nine o'clock on a Wednesday
The news is on the TV
They tell me the story of Kohnert
And I just can't see how it could be.

They say, Son you were wearing a Banana
Or that's what they said on the news
And while its not good to whip out your wood
It sure as hell does amuse

Ba ba ba be na na
Ba ba ba be na na
Sing us a song 'bout the Banana Man
Arrested for unpeeling his fruit;
He's not the only one charged
It turns out he had a recruit.

He found himself at the airport
And I guess the time it was ripe
He got drunk silly and then he freed willie
And now some young gal has a gripe

I say Bill how can you resist this one
And as you can see I just can't
The man chose this route in his banana suit
Instead of wearing some pants

oh Ba ba ba ba na na na
Ba ba ba na na naaaaaa
Sing you this song 'bout the Banana Man
That I took the time to compose
Maybe it'll get on the Internet
And like him be over-exposed

Now Tony his friend drove the vehicle
You might call it the Banana-mobile
He didn’t know see that his buddy
Would his banana- a'peel

He said Carl good Lord what you doin'
you'll make me toss up my lunch
There's no one in here, or even out there
That needs to see all your bunch

oh Ba ba ba ba na na na
Ba ba ba na na naaaaaa
Sing you this song 'bout the Banana Man
That's what you have to go do;
You can laugh at his misfortune
It's funny because its not you.

And now its all over the Internet
I bet someone call's up his Mama
Saying look what your son has gone and done
He's a banana without even pyjamas;

And the story sounds like a carnival
It's a story reeking of too much beer
He shook out his tree where somebody could see
In prison he'll have something to fear

oh Ba ba ba ba na na na
Ba ba ba na na naaaaaa
Sing you this song 'bout the Banana Man
The news reports dug up the dirt
And now he's going to prison
Where he'll get his just dessert.

oh Ba ba ba ba na na na
Ba ba ba na na naaaaaa
