Kevin Ayers - Banana Hymn текст песни

When it comes to discussing bananas,

I am moved to extravagant praise;

For the banana is firm and substantial,

And may be used in a number of ways.

With more presence than leeks or asparagus,

And more charm than the brusque bamboo;

The banana has style and a curious smile,

Perceptible only to few.

The banana is not a romantic,

In the popular sense of the thing;

Approach it without care or caution,

And you trip on its slippery skin.

So be aware of the gallant banana,

When your tolerance seems to be thin;

And instead of the boot or the bullet,

Just put that banana in....
