Thread Name: ADD: I Like Bananas Because they Don't Have Bones
Subject: Lyr Add: I LIKE BANANAS (BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO BONE
Lyrics and chords copied from http://www.5thaurora.com/campfire/index32.html. I corrected the words a bit to make them correspond to the sheet music at http://www.hoosierhotshots.com/ilikebananas.html. That page also has some "parody" verses (How can you parody something this silly?) that are not included in the sheet music.

I LIKE BANANAS (BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO BONES)
(Chris Yacich)

C                G7                C
Standing by the fruit store on the corner,
C                G7       C
Once I heard a customer complain:
D7                   G      D7                G
"You never seem to show the fruit we all love so.
   D7                               G
That's why business hasn't been the same.

C                         D7
I don't like your peaches. They are full of stones.
G7                                  C
I like bananas because they have no bones.

C                      D7
Don't give me tomatoes. Can't stand ice cream cones.
G7                                  C
I like bananas because they have no bones.

F                                       C
No matter where I go with Suzy, May, or Anna,
D7                Am    D7             G7
I want the world to know I must have my bananas.

C                   D7
Cabbages and onions hurt my singing tones.
G7                                  C
I like bananas because they have no bones.
