Confessions a 20th century ne'er do well: Drinking, fighting, stealing and other things one generally ought not do

This is a great song. I wish I could find a copy!

My wife left town with a banana.
Love's a rotten deal!
Found that yellow devil hiding in her purse.
He was cold, he was hard, but he had a peel.
I hope this never happens to you.
Some fruit breaks your marrige in two.
My wife left town with a banana.
My baby's slippin' away.

(Short musical interlude)

My wife left town with a banana.
I'm a jealous man.
She found a six-inch latin lover.
Nnow she does the tango with her right hand.
And right now I could just die.
He's eating my banana cream pie!
My wife left town with a banana.
My baby's slippin', my baby's slippin', my baby's slippin' away!

I used to hear that song on Z100 all the time way back in the Eighties. That Z Morning Zoo was a bunch of zany guys, I tell ya.

Ah, the amount of double entendre that went over my head back then!

Nice to see you liked the song. I used a nome de plume years ago (Carlos Borzeenie, Sr.) when I wrote that (I am 60 now).

You might be interested to know there is a 2nd verse to that song. My family was surprised when I sang it to them. There was a deadline for the Demento album (it was a contest, of sorts), so I hurried the 1st verse off.

Needless to say, there is more to this story.
