What is it that peels in strips br But inside you cannot find any pips. br br What is it that is yellow or green br But not leaves; that’s not what I mean. br br What is it that is often seen br With its bunch of friends between. br br What is it that’s the butt of jokes br And even sometimes used in a hoax. br br What is it that is long, not fat br And never wears a peaked cap. br br What is it that’s a slippery thing br Often empty, just a skin. br br Do you think it is Tom, or was it Dick br Who you met with down at the Gym br br Ohh no! You are so wrong! br It’s just a banana that you slipped on. br br When you were rushing to meet Sally br And had not yet found Harry br Hoping that he will be the one.
