Back home from the tropics
man, that was a warm location
They call that place romantic, I
didn't need no instigation
But they tell the kind of stories that keep a young man on his toes
Oh yeah
But when temptation waves a finger it takes better man to tell them no
Well, uh
Papa owned a business selling fruits and veg-eh-tabbles [vegetables]
Well the old man he was lonely there was nobody to eat his apples
Well i was just about to make that sweet potato turn over
Oh yeah
But then, uh, Papa hit me with a cabbage said I'd get no old
Oooo i miss that Maryanna
Oh, those sweet bananas
But I may be mistaken
there are some things that a man must do
No use in explanin'
I ain't sayin anything new
But if everybody knows one kiss leads to another
and it always will now
Why is everyone so hard on all us lovers
Oooo I miss that Maryanna
Oh, those sweet bananas
man, that was a warm location
They call that place romantic, I
didn't need no instigation
But they tell the kind of stories that keep a young man on his toes
Oh yeah
But when temptation waves a finger it takes better man to tell them no
Well, uh
Papa owned a business selling fruits and veg-eh-tabbles [vegetables]
Well the old man he was lonely there was nobody to eat his apples
Well i was just about to make that sweet potato turn over
Oh yeah
But then, uh, Papa hit me with a cabbage said I'd get no old
Oooo i miss that Maryanna
Oh, those sweet bananas
But I may be mistaken
there are some things that a man must do
No use in explanin'
I ain't sayin anything new
But if everybody knows one kiss leads to another
and it always will now
Why is everyone so hard on all us lovers
Oooo I miss that Maryanna
Oh, those sweet bananas
