Parents Must Have Been Primates

Mom & Dad must have been primates Coz bananas are my favourite foods When it comes to stuff Jacko eats a lot of For bananas they're in the mood Whenever they passed a bush with vines Something deep down inside Urges them to climb up and beat their chest Some primordial force to abide Bananas for breakfast, lunch or dinner With mounds of yummy whipped cream Oh heavenly joy! There ain't nuttin' finer They're the object of all our dreams Okay, I'll try to get back to reality now But each time I hear an old squeeze box Get all excited and feel like performing It invades my innermost thoughts Sitting here typing while peeling a banana Is there help for someone like me My skin has definitely got a yellow tinge Often hang from our backyard tree! Mom and Dad must have been primates Other signs are too numerous to tell Obsessed by scratching my armpits raw And honking my honker as well!

Life is full of banana skins. You slip, you go on:) Jack, it's hard to understand you with a mouthful of banana. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
