Køb bananer [English translation]

Buy bananas, buy bananas

Buy bananas here at my place

Do come closer, dearest madam

You won't be cheated by me

Buy bananas, buy bananas

Buy bananas here at my place

Do come closer, dearest madam

You won't be cheated by me

That's what uncle Pole said

When he stood by his banana stand

In the middle of Strøget1. well dressed

And little me stood guard at the nearby corner

Uncle Pole often said to me

You won't be like me

You will learn something, you will become someone

But when uncle Pole got sick in the end

Of too much tutti-frutti and too much no-no

It was me, damn it, that had to go out and make money

I stood there yelling:

Buy bananas, buy bananas

Buy bananas here at my place

Do come closer, dearest madam

You won't be cheated by me

That what I said, yes I did

When I stood by my banana stand

In the middle of Strøget, well dressed

And the boy he stood guard at the nearby corner

When the boy was small he often said

Oh, daddy, I'm gonna make it big

I want to learn something, I want to become someone

I don't won't want to end up like you

And stand here in the street like an idiot

You better believe it, it won't be me, oh no no

But in school it didn't go well

He couldn't sit still and didn't learn enough

He had mercury up his ass like his daddy

And late uncle Pole

Now he stands there yelling:

Buy bananas, buy bananas

Buy bananas at my place

Do come closer, dear madam

You won't be cheated by me

Something like that the boy says

When he stands by his banana stand

In the middle of Strøget, well dressed

And daddy stands guard at the nearby corner

By bananas, dearest madam, at my place
