PEEL YOUR BANANA [Intro – Playful Vocal, Latin Percussion] Na-na-na-na-na-na! Ba-ba-banana! From Havana to Copacabana— Hey, Susanna! [Verse 1 – Bouncy Male Vocal] I was dancing down in Havana, Wearing nothing fancy, just my bandana. Came from the heat of the savanna, Spent one freezing year in Montana. Then I met a girl named Susanna, Sipping something sweet with her nana. She said, “Come over to my cabana, I've got bigger plans for your mañana!” [Chorus – Catchy Group Vocals, Big Bass] Na-na-na-na-na-na! Peel your ba-ba-banana! Shake it, shake it, hey, Susanna, All the way to Copacabana! Na-na-na-na-na-na! Peel your ba-ba-banana! Wave it high, that bright bandana, Going absolutely bananas! [Verse 2 – Rhythmic, Cheeky] “Where’s your place?” I asked Susanna. “Down the beach in Copacabana.” “That's a long way from Havana!” “Catch a plane and bring your bandana!” Packed my bag in my pyjamas, Called my friend who lives in Atlanta. He said, “Boy, you're asking for drama!” I said, “Save that speech for mañana!” [Chorus – Full Dance Groove] Na-na-na-na-na-na! Peel your ba-ba-banana! Shake it, shake it, hey, Susanna, All the way to Copacabana! Na-na-na-na-na-na! Peel your ba-ba-banana! Wave it high, that bright bandana, Going absolutely bananas! [Break – Percussion, Call and Response] Who’s in Havana? Me and Susanna! Where’s your bandana? Left in the cabana! What’s for mañana? More of that banana! What would your nana say? “Save me some for Saturday!” [Verse 3 – Faster Delivery] Found her dancing outside the cabana, With her best friends, Anna and Diana. Somebody brought a plastic banana, Somebody dressed their dog in a bandana. Nana took control of the samba, Said, “I've been doing this since Havana!” Susanna laughed, “Forget your Montana, You're staying till we run out of bananas!” [Bridge – Half-Time, Playful Vocal] She said, “Come closer, hey, you wanna?” Pulled me by the knot of my bandana. Took a fruit bowl into the cabana— “Sit down, fool, and peel your banana!” [Final Chorus – Bigger Vocals, Brass Hits] Na-na-na-na-na-na! Peel your ba-ba-banana! Shake it, shake it, hey, Susanna, All the way to Copacabana! Na-na-na-na-na-na! Peel your ba-ba-banana! From the savanna to Montana, Everybody’s going bananas! [Outro – Vocal Chops, Percussion] Havana! Bandana! Susanna! Cabana! Na-na-na-na-na-na— Peel your ba-ba-banana! Na-na-na-na-na-na Copacobana Ba-ba-banana
