A LEAN BANANA, Written and sung by Sam Devere. 
A lean banana, decayed to the core, E'er since I slipped on thy peel I've been so sore; On my back I lingered just where I fell, The sweet words I uttered would ne'er do to tell; If I could have caught then the dizzy lookingr gawk, Who threw that banana peel out on the walk, It made me see stars that I ne'er saw before-A lean banana I'll love thee no more. 
Chorus. Lightly I'll tread on the sidewalk evermore, A lean banana, rotten to the core; I slipped on thy peel. I'll be careful evermore, 
A. lean banana from some foreign shore. 
A lean banana you've caused many a roar, I slipped on thy peel and you turned me o'er and o'er; And young girls have blushed so when thrown off their pegs, Slipping on a banana and showing their dear legs; Numerous are the pedestrians that you have caused to fall, Great, big and little, lean, lank and tall: The seats of fat men's pants you've busted and you've tore, A lean banana, how they have swore. 
Chorus. Watchful I am from the time I leave my door-A lean bauana I've heard of you before; E'er since I slipped on thy peel I've been so sore, A lean banana from some Dutch grocery store.
