bananas
Bananas are a strange fruit
and they’re lots and lots of fun
you can put them in your pants
and pretend they are a gun

You can place them in a naughty shape
with a couple of juicy plums
and they taste nice with custard
and a packet of wine gums

Bananas are usually yellow
and sometimes they are green
they hang around in bunches
and stab you in the spleen
