Intro: E A (2x) 

E 
Back home from the tropics 
A                        E      A 
Man that was a (lone?) location 
E 
They call that place romantic 
A                      B 
I didn't need no instigation 
A 
But they tell the kinda story that keeps a young man on his 
E     C#m 
Toes, Oh yeah 
B 
But when Temptation waves a finger it 
A                              E        A  
Takes a better man to tell her no 

E       A   

Well her poppa owned a business 
Sellin' fruits and veggie-tables 
Well the old man he was lonely 
There was nobody to eat his apple 
Well I was just about to make that sweet potato turn 
Over, Oh yeah 
But then her poppa hit me with a cabbage 
Said I didn't (know??) 

E      A  

B       C#m            A 
Ooooo, I miss that Mary Ann-a 
B   A              E       A 
Oh, oh those sweet bananas 

E      A 

Well I may be mistaken 
There are some things that a man must do 
No use in explainin' 
I ain't sayin' anything new 
But if everybody knows that one kiss leads to 
Another, and it always will, 
Then why is everyone so hard on all us lovers? 

Ooooo, I miss that Marry Anne 
Oh, oh those sweet bananas... (end with the E chord on the lyric "bananas")
