Green Bananas

©2016 Robert Randall Burke


Went to the doctor
Just the other day
Just to see what he would say
He looked at me
In his serious way
And said......

“Don't buy no Green Bananas
Don't make no
Long-term plans
If you got a bucket list
You better get checking it
And on your next visit
You can pay in advance.”

“Don't buy no Green Bananas
Don't buy no mutual funds
Buy your beer
By the bottle
And on your next visit
You can pay in advance”.


“Hey, you kids! Get off my lawn!”
“What time is the Early Bird”
“Back in my day....well....”
“Aw, you young whippersnapper!”
“Welcome to Florida. Here's your golf cart
and your Handicapped Tag.”

Fun song Bob!! Really clever. I'll have to remember the green banana line. Horn was perfect. Great job on this! Take care. Greg

Hahahahaha....my mother used to say that when she was younger than I am now. Scary!

There's a ton of fun packed in this one! And then there's your always cool vocals and production.

Superb!

J&B

Very fun song! Great job!

fj,

Thanks for the listen.

Pat,

Thanks. We haven't played this live yet. "Live" is a misnomer when your demographic is 120 years old!


Regards,


Bob

Greg,


Thanks for listening. Appreciate it.

Bob

J & B,

Thanks for the listen. That phrase has stuck in my mind too, and has become more relevant as time goes by.


Regards,

Bob

David,

Thanks for listening.

Funny tune. I have an Aunt who claims to be older than dirt and never buys green bananas.

Good lyrics that remind of something Paul McCartney would do.

Haha,
you got the old man boogie as well.
I always read the weekly obituary pages in the local paper just to check that I am not in it.

That would be a good live song!

Alyn
ps thanks again

Charlie,

Thanks for listening and commenting. Gotta have my BIAB tuba!


Regards,

Bob

Alyn,

Good to "see" you! It's funny, but I had you in mind while writing this thing. I initially wanted to do a Brit accent, but chickened out.

I think it would sound better with you singing it. In Welsh.


Regards,

Bob

the verse:

Peidiwch â phrynu dim Bananas Gwyrdd
Peidiwch â gwneud dim
cynlluniau tymor hir
Os cawsoch rhestr bwced
Byddwch yn cael gwell gwirio ei
Ac ar eich ymweliad nesaf
Gallwch dalu o flaen llaw.

not so catchy now eh Bob!!
Alyn

Great!

Alright Alyn. Here we go....

Un......dau.....tri.......pedwar!!!!!

LOL! Nice touch with the Dixieland Jazz sorta reminding me of the Nawlins funeral march music too.

Josie,

Thanks for listening and commenting.
