Verse

Smokin' banana peels, see how it feels Living is easy with ice cubes The world is swimmin' with electric eels Talk seriously to me brother Smokin' banana peels, savin' the seals There are four me's living all together Got to keep an even keel You've got to take life serially Smokin' banana peels in between meals I was all pumped up about the iron Let's all pray get down and kneel Smokin' banana peels sound like this Post

Smokin' banana peels, nothin' is real Mites are living in your eyelashes People are makin' important deals They're my fingernails and I'm keeping em Smokin' banana peels, savin' the seals (???) Up and down between your heels Dip your breasts in shimmering lip balm Talk to me about Elvis Take Elvis for walk and shut up
