lyrics

MY BANANAS
Words & Music Mark Hilton © Copyright 2020

I woke up in a dream, it broke my heart
I wanna travel back to the very start
Wrap my arms around you, hold on tight
Now I gotta stay away, it don't seem right

Why me? They're my bananas and you're up my tree
Why me? Well I just wanna be free, I just wanna be free

I tried to shoot the breeze, but they shot my horse
They're gonna lock me up, for thinking all my thoughts
So I'm going to Jamaica in my mind
I'd like to take 'ya, but I ain't that blind

Why me?...It's all about me

The wind's got a bite
There's no land in site

They let me off the boat, I'm feeling kinda funny
Was it the nautical cuisine, or the spider in the dunny?
Send the broken and defeated to the dark side of town
There's talk about a wall, it's sure to tumble down

I'm throwing all the rocks off my land
I'm gonna build a house, a place so grand
With 27 rooms and an ocean view
Then maybe once a year you could stay there too

Why me? They're my bananas and you're up my tree
Why me? You're such a misery
Why me? They're my bananas and you're up my tree
Why me? Well I just wanna be free, Why me?
