WHEN BANANA SKINS ARE FALLING (I'LL COME SLIDING HOME TO YOU)
Abraham Frazzini - Paul DeFrank - Irving Mills

Tony Randall with Luchi De Jesus


(Verse:)
Got a job out on a farm,
Just a garden and a barn,
Picking fruits and vegetables all day -
But when all my work is through,
When I'm craving more for you.
Listen, Dear, to what I've got to say:

(Chorus:)
When I'm picking the beets, Dear,
That's when my heart beats for you -
When I'm picking blueberries,
That's when I feel blue for you -
When I'm picking those onions,
That's the only time I cry for you -
But when banana skins are falling,
I'll come sliding back to you.

When I'm picking tomatoes,
That's when I catch up to you -
When I'm picking sweet corn, Dear,
I know you're so sweet and true -
When I'm picking hot peppers,
Then my heart just burns with love for you -
But when banana skins are falling,
I'll come sliding back to you.

When I'm picking a radish,
Like your reddish hair, it glows - 
When I'm picking the turnips,
I can see your turned-up nose -
When I'm picking the garlic,
Then I breathe my love to you so true - 
But when banana skins are falling,
I'll come sliding back to you!
