As sung by Spike Jones and his City Slickers:
I need not search for precious gold
of wealth I have my share
for with my eyes I scan the skies
and find my fortune there
a host of priceless dreams unfold
in songs that bluebirds sing
the earth the sea belong to me
I'm richer than a king
to add the things that money cannot buy
an echo brings this very soft reply:
Yes we have no bananas
we have no bananas today
we've string beans and onions
canabanyas and scallions
and all kinds of fruits and say
we have an old fashioned tomatoe
long island patatoe
But yes we have no bananas
