Lyrics
How Fred L-Lloyd tennis shoe Suddenly I want to see you For up the landing Clouds of spray Oh to see the sunrise once Sailing in a banana boat Spiders in the bunches Biting can spell death Trading post in Mozamb. Bassa Seventeen one franc pieces Two ten franc notes Leather purse today
Chronology
Interpretations
- The middle section references Day-O (Banana Boat Song), popularized by Harry Belafonte's 1956 version
- "A beautiful bunch of ripe banana / Hide the deadly black tarantula"
- (wild speculation) The first line could be a mangling of "Alfred, the Lord Tennyson"
