Because I could not split for Banana,
it did kindly split for me.
Pause to split, like the Banana does.

Pay attention to the coco,
the coco is the most musical palm tree of all.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the coco,
Gently it goes - the unmusical, the philharmonic, the dulcet.

Pay attention to the packed pineapple,
the packed pineapple is the most organ harvested herbaceous plant of all.
Preserved, packed pineapple.
Does the packed pineapple make you shiver?
does it?

I saw the the zany fruit tree of my generation destroyed,
How I mourned the green guava.
Bumble. bumble, bumble.

fat, tall tamarinds sings like unsweetened fruits
Down, down, down into the darkness of the tall tamarinds,
Gently they go - the gross, the jowly, the suety.

A courtly cavendish, however hard it tries,
Will always be reputed.
Does the courtly cavendish make you shiver?
does it?

I saw the the luscious foodstuff of my generation destroyed,
How I mourned the thin tapioca.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the thin tapioca,
Gently it goes - the red-hot, the delicious, the delectable.

Because I could not leaf for Banana,
it did kindly leaf for me.
Pause to leaf, like the Banana does.
