That's Bananas
John Long 1963 (Santa Rosa, CA)
When someone says you can’t
That’s Bananas
When you feel unsure
That’s Bananas
When you see lots of yellow
That’s Bananas
When you have a bad day in school
That’s Bananas
When something goes wrong
That’s Bananas
If you feel helpless
That’s Bananas
Whenever nothing feels right
And you need something to eat
That's Bananas
