Liner Notes

#skirmish #silly #fuc #ukulele

Well this was a delightfully silly one to write. And timely, as I literally just made banana bread.

Lyrics

You started green No I didn’t pick you from a tree I bought you in a grocery store

Where did you come from? Certainly not Pennsylvania I think you’re from some place Much more warm

And I’m sorry I forgot about you When I stopped making smoothies I left you there to rot and now you’re squishy And making all the other fruit go bad Oh it’s so sad But I don’t wanna throw you out

So now that you’re brown Or more like black let’s be honest I’m gonna make a mash out of you

Cause under your skin There’s still some fruit I can salvage So I’m gonna mix you right in

And I’m not sorry To mingle you with sweetener and flour Just set the timer, takes about an hour Then I let you cool, the perfect snack for school And I’m so glad I didn’t throw you out

Such a lovely melody and a heart felt ode to bananas - the silliness is a tonic for these times 😊

Thanks for sharing this heartfelt missive for a banana not quite too far gone. Such fruitful lyrics.

LOVE that you didn't actually say banana bread in the song. I'm kind of in love with this love song to a banana. Great skirmish!

This is so much fun; I was smiling the whole time! Love the melody, the humor, and your voice. Following for more :)

“I’m sorry I forgot about you When I stopped making smoothies”

^^ Singing a truth I wish I’d shared with many bananas. But my favorite line was “Certainly not Pennsylvania.” Made me laugh aloud.

This is so cute! Now I want some banana bread. I love how you you yell your apology to the banana. Very rock and roll, super charmed by this.
