Lyrics
[Intro]
Living and jumping
Walking with monkeys
Banana boy
Living
I'm looking
Take me
I'll drink you
[Verse 1]
Living in the jungle and jumping all the night, boy
I'm looking for a yellow "Banana toy"
Take me like a sweet fruit and lay down all your body
I'll drink you like a juice of coconut
[Pre-Chorus]
Shake shake let me do 'cause I'm on fire
Look at the moon light is all around
Time to stay all the night with desire
Take off your suit and dance with me tonight
[Chorus]
My sweet my sweet banana (yeah yeah)
I think of you every hour
My sweet my sweet banana (banana)
I wanna dance till the morning, boy
My sweet my sweet banana (yeah yeah)
I wanna be like your mama
My sweet oh sweet banana (banana)
You know the fruit that I like is you
[Verse 2]
Walking in the jungle with monkeys, snakes and lions
I'm waiting for the "Super banana boy"
I am not in danger 'cause you're my guardian angel
So many times I tell you you'll be the one
