Bring a Banana Lyrics

Came from Cameroon about noon to Miami

Met a girl from Cuba and her name was Marie

She told me things were dicey in the Antilles

I told Joseph it was time to leave

Out in Alamogordo the sand is white

Every day is sunny and it's oh so bright

I got a job working for Uncle Sam

That's when everybody started calling me HAM

I got a red lever, what does it do?

I got a green button, but it won't call you

Look at all them rockets heading into Havana

Wish I remembered to bring a banana

I had Cuba on my mind almost everyday

Cause everyone was talking about Fidel and Che

They making lots of trouble smoking big cigars

Hanging with their buddies in the U.S.S.R.

I was busy pushing buttons each and every day

Turned on the tele and what did they say?

Some guys from out of town

Who had nothing to do

They went to Cuba and they had 'em a coup

I got a red lever, what does it do?

I got a green button, but it won't call you

Look at all them rockets heading into Havana

Wish I remembered to bring a banana

Uncle Sam said everything was ready to go

They shipped me back East down near Orlando

I heard some fella counting down from 10 - 1

And then they sent me flying into the sun

I was over the Caribbean just looking down

I saw a game of chess just a floating around

A pawn, a rook, a bishop hope nobody slips

We don't want to hear "you sunk my battleship"

I got a red lever, what does it do?

I got a green button, but it won't call you

Look at all them rockets heading into Havana

Wish I remembered to bring a banana

While Khrushchev & Kennedy

Just monkeyed around

I kept my eye on a piece of the ground

A tiny little island overlooking Havana

Perfect spot to set me up my own cabana

I found Marie, we fell in love, and settled down

Got a couple little ones just hanging around

I spend my days relaxing in the Island breeze

Munching on bananas watching Lancelot Link

I got a red lever, what does it do?

I got a green button, but it won't call you

Look at all them rockets heading into Havana

Wish I remembered to bring a banana

I got a red lever, what does it do?

I got a green button, but it won't call you

Look at all them rockets heading into Havana

Wish I remembered to bring a banana

Look at all them rockets heading into Havana

Wish I remembered to bring a banana
