Subject: Lyr Add: THE POWER OF A BANANA
From a thread I generated back in 2004

The Power of a Banana

Adam and Eve in the garden sat,
They had no cause to hurry -
But something in the mind of Eve
Caused her to sigh and worry.
When she got up and walked about
As handsome as Diana;
Then Adam said to her, my dear,
Do have a ripe Banana.

Chorus
Banana, Banana,
Ripe and sweet Banana.
If your wife is cross with you,
Just give her a Banana.

They were as happy as could be,
And free from earthly care;
They were allowed to eat all fruits,
Except onbe apple rare-
But the Devil came just like a snake,
Some say like a goanna.
Then Adam ate the apple rare,
And Eve had a Banana.

A friend of mine two years ago,
Met with a lovely girl,
Her golden hair and large blue eyes,
Would facinate an Earl.
She is now his wife and happy too,
Her name it is Johanna -
She's proud of him, why so, because
He gave her a Banana.

Sure, fruit is good at any time,
'Twill make one strong and healthy,
The King, The Queen, the soldier boy,
The poor, likewise the wealthy.
There's Peaches, Pears and Passion-fruit:
When next you meet Susanna -
Don't be shy, wink your left eye,
And give her a Banana.
