Lyrics --

バナナが いっぽん ありました
あおい みなみの そらのした
こどもが ふたりで とりやっこ
バナナは ツルンと とんでった
バナナは どこへ いったかな
バナナン バナナン バナナ

ワニが いっぴき おりました
しろい しぶきの すなはまで
おどりを おどって おりますと
バナナが ツルンと とんできた
おひさま ニコニコ いいてんき
バナナン バナナン バナナ

ワニと バナナが おどります
ポンポコ ツルリン ポンツルリ
あんまり ちょうしに のりすぎて
バナナは ツルンと とんでった
バナナは どこへ いったかな
バナナン バナナン バナナ

おふねが いっそう うかんでた
おひげ はやした せんちょうさん
グーグー おひるね いいきもち
おくちを ポカンと あけてたら
バナナが スポンと とびこんだ
モグモグモグモグ たべちゃった
たべちゃった　たべちゃった

English Translation

"Bananas That Flew Away"

There was one banana
under the southern blue sky.
Two children fought over it.
The banana flew away suddenly.
Where did the banana go?
Banana banana banana.

There was an alligator
on a splashy white sandy beach.
While dancing happily,
the banana flew to the alligator.
Smiling sun and the nice weather.
Banana banana banana.

The alligator and the banana danced together.
Ponpoko Tsururin Pontsururi.
The alligator was having too much fun.
The banana flew away suddenly.
Where did the banana go?
Banana banana banana.
A ship floated nearby.
A captain with a beard,
taking a nap, feeling good,
with his mouth wide open.
The banana jumped into his mouth.
He munched and ate it.
He ate it. He ate it.
