Slim Gaillard — When Banana Skins Are Falling
When I'm picking
Beets, dear, o-rooney
That's when my heart beats for you
When I'm picking
Blueberries, o-vouty
That's when I feel so blue for you
When I'm picking
Those onions
That's the only time I cry for you
But, when banana skins are falling, baby
I'll come sliding back to you
[Instrumental]
When I'm picking
Tomatoes, hmm
That's when I ketchup with you, o-rooney
When I'm picking
The turnips
I can see your turn-up nose, o-rooney
When I'm picking
The garlic
Then I'll breathe my love to you so
But, when banana skins are falling, baby
I'll come sliding back to you
Yes, I mean it, oh
I'll come sliding, baby, back to you
