I’ve seen lots of funny things in my time

 But theres one thing I’ve been trying hard to get

 For years and years and years I’ve kept on searching

 But I haven’t had the luck to see one yet

 Although I haven’t seen one you all know the thing I mean

 And now Im going to tell you what it is I haven’t seen

 I have never, never,never,never

 I’ve never seen a straight banana

I’ve searched quite a bit

But I must admit

 There even curved when they are served in my banana splits

I have seen them by the car loads On the deleware and tiawana

But I have never, never, never, never

 I’ve never seen a straight banana

[spoken]

Oh how much i’ve been yearning to see that straight banana, though unfortunately

I’ve had no luck...in fact...

I recall when I was in Alaska

 I Have seen the sun at twelve-o'clock at night.

 I've seen the waterfalls at old Niagara

 I confess it is a most impressive sight.

I’d love to see a certain thing

 But if it's not to be,

 I'd like to meet somebody else

 Who saw what I can't see.

 I've never, never, never, never I’ve never seen a straight banana.

though theres things I hate

Millions I have ate.

 But Doggon me I’ve yet to see Banana’s that are straight

I have traveled far to find one.

From the Argentine to the Havana.

 But I've never, never, never, never

 I've never seen a straight banana.

 No I’ve never, never,never,never

 I’ve never seen a straight banana!
