[Intro] Banana boat rocks in a teacup sea Yellow little moon keeps winking at me Peel curls up like a question mark I take one step and the whole floor barks [Verse 1] You wore your hat on the side of your head Said it was fashion; the fruit said instead I tucked one banana in my coat for the ride It rolled down the aisle and it bumped your pride You tried to look serious, tried not to grin But your left shoe wobbled and your right shoe gave in Now the whole room’s leaning, the walls tilt too And every crooked little thing points back at you [Pre-Chorus] Tip left Tip right Yellow peel in the corner of sight Hold on Stand tall Here comes the wobble to topple us all [Chorus] Wobble, banana, wobble around Soft little moon with a bounce in the ground Peel on the table, grin on your face Everybody’s losing their balance in place Wobble, banana, shake that curve You took one step and forgot your nerve Lean too far, then come back through The whole room wobbles when I look at you [Verse 2] A tiny green parrot was running the till Charging one smile for a spoonful of sill The clock wore a peel like a golden beret And the minutes kept slipping the wrong kind of way You said, “Keep steady,” and grabbed for the chair The chair scooted off like it didn’t care I gave you a hand, you gave me a spin Now we’re both bent sideways and laughing again [Pre-Chorus] Cup tips Fruit rolls Wobble travels from toes to nose Look close Don’t blink The floor’s doing something you didn’t think [Chorus] Wobble, banana, wobble around Soft little moon with a bounce in the ground Peel on the table, grin on your face Everybody’s losing their balance in place Wobble, banana, shake that curve You took one step and forgot your nerve Lean too far, then come back through The whole room wobbles when I look at you [Bridge] (quiet, almost spoken) You can blame the floor. You can blame the chair. But that banana’s been sitting there. Take my hand. No, the other one. There you go. Now don’t let go. [Final Chorus] Wobble, banana, wobble around Round little moon with a bounce in the ground Peel on the table, grin on your face Now the whole orchard’s tilting in place Wobble, banana, shake that curve You took one step and found your nerve Lean too far, then come back through The whole room wobbles when I dance with you [Outro] Roll it gently. Set it down. One last wobble. No one’s straight now.
