The Lyrics
her name was lola
she was a stoner
this yellow fruit, she would declare
gives a high beyond compare
she would inhale it
and start to ha-ha
no, you don't smoke it like cigars
its the peels, you gotta char
across the kitchen floor
were nanners by the score
in our lungs, till we nearly smothered
then we asked for more
we were smokin'
smokin' bananas
with tony, scott, lola and anna
we were smokin'
smokin' bananas
throat takes a bashin'
because of our passion
but we're smokin'
we all took part
we went bezerko
our minds were climbin'
i was too ripped to leave my chair
i saw patterns dancin' there
my sense diminished
tingled all over
but it went a bit too far
i began to feel bizarre
and then the vomit flew
and i felt thrashed when through
smoke that crud...it'll make your brain rot
now i know its true
we were smokin'
smokin' bananas
with tony, scott, lola and anna
we were smokin'
smokin' bananas
throat takes a bashin'
because of our passion
but we're smokin'
we all took part
her name was lola
she was a stoner
but that was many years ago
she don't get high anymore
now, she's addicted
my dear sweet lola
to banana splits, i swear
and her hips go out to there
when she goes out to dine
you know what's on her mind
she loves the taste, but don't like 'em stony
she don't miss the times......
we were smokin'
smokin' bananas
with tony, scott, lola and anna
we were smokin'
smokin' bananas
throat takes a bashin'
because of our passion
but we're smokin'
we all took part
we were smokin'
we all took part
we all took part
she was a stoner
this yellow fruit, she would declare
gives a high beyond compare
she would inhale it
and start to ha-ha
no, you don't smoke it like cigars
its the peels, you gotta char
across the kitchen floor
were nanners by the score
in our lungs, till we nearly smothered
then we asked for more
we were smokin'
smokin' bananas
with tony, scott, lola and anna
we were smokin'
smokin' bananas
throat takes a bashin'
because of our passion
but we're smokin'
we all took part
we went bezerko
our minds were climbin'
i was too ripped to leave my chair
i saw patterns dancin' there

we were smokin'
we all took part
we all took part

Smokin bananas? Why not? good job.
Mellow yellow fives.
Oh good, I can get an obvious one in: This song has a lot of appeal. John B: Is that was Donovan meant by "electrical banana"? And is that also what Gwen Stefani means by "bananas"?
High POTassium content here. I laughed out loud :-) 555
thanks carol john michael and rick
Took me back literally to being 13 again... well dodgy Alvin ;-D 555
How do u smoke a banana? I would imagine making tobacco out of the dried leaves, rather than trying to light the fruit, right?...good parody
Smokin Bananas doesn't work (so I've heard...), though this parody does.
AFW, its the peels not leaves that supposedly do the job (so I've read...)
