Some folks they like apples
And some folks they like pears
I've heard that pomegranates
are preferred by millionaires
And grapes are great and figs are fab
and rhubarb really isn't bad
mango makes you merry
But cherries make you mad
Bananas are the perfect fruit
Strawberries and raspberries
and red-berries and blueberries
and mulberries and cranberries
and blackberries and gooseberries
are grand
(But) prunes are problematic,
And passion fruit are bland
You may prefer a tangerine
an orange or a clementine
Maybe you'd like a nectarine
The problem is that none of these are dry
So when you try
to peel them
They hit you in the eye
That's why
Bananas are the perfect fruit
They're yellow and they're curvy and conveniently wrapped
All you have to do is peel one when you want to eat a snack
And if they're past their sell-by date they go a little black
Oh,
Bananas are the perfect fruit
You can smoke banana skins and get a little high
You can stick one up your nose, but it'll make you cry
You can put one in your pocket and pretend that its a gun
You can mix it up with crisps and eat it in bun
Bananas are the perfect fruit
They're perfect toys for girls and boys
A special treat that's firm and sweet
No other fruit is so complete
Bananas are the perfect fruit
