764.0. "An old banana song ?????" by HEAD::BRYANT (Life in the full meaning of the word) Wed Nov 21 1990 10:56
This is probably a strange request but does anybody know who
or what sung this song, i think it's very old, probably over fifty
years old, i dont know anything else about it apart from the words
which are listed below.
TITLE (probably straight *bannana*)
-----------------------------------
I've seen lots of funny things in life time.
But there's one thing that i havn't seen up till now ....
For years and years and years i've kept on searching,
but i've always seem to have bad luck somehow.
To find the thing i'm searching for, around the world i feel,
and now i'm going to tell you wot it is a havn't seen.
Well i've never
never
never
never,
I've never seen a straight *bannana*.
I've searched everywhere, i've searched everywhere,
I've seen bananas standing up,i've seen them lying down,
I've search everywhere to find them, Africa,Jamaica and Garvana,
But i've
never,
never,
never,
never.
I've never seen a stright ***Banana****
This song always plays over and over in my mind, maybe that the reason
why most people think i'm mad. I also sing it when i'm drunk!!! Very
embarrasing, and when i'm Juggling.Please help!
Thanks in advance
Darran.

| I recall seeing this on an old 78rpm record in a junk shop when I was
into collecting such things (and when the record player of the day
would play them.
Its called "I've never seen a straight banana" and it may have been by
Leslie Sarony who made records of so called comic novelty songs.
I think he also did "Aint it grand to be bloomin' well dead" which was
another cracker.
