Bananaqueen

Zita Swoon

Happy happy happy happy


Man i drove down to Ghent in my underwear


i went lookin for some new funny clothes to wear


i was feelin strange


i'd say a little deranged


So i walk on in this funky place


just to see what kinda groove that i could trace


i saw her face


and her elegant taste


dancin to a disco was the bananaqueen


thourougly surrounded by her royal bananakin


i was amazed


she put a smile on my face


she said:


hey man


you shouldn't be worried 'bout the good or the bad


or all them stories


just a slowly point your life


in the right direction


and live it up to the max of true satisfaction


Hey


My life is okay


{repeat a few times}


maybe she was french or african or german


but it didn't really matter to the people that were turning


to the left


to the right


the way they moved was out of sight


man i had to get busy giving everything


everything


oooooooooooh man just give me everything EVERYTHING


She had a afroceltic fire and a philosophic trill


she had the muscles of a giant with a delicate skill


she had the softness of a mama and the kindness of a granny


she was yelling like James Brown Joyce Donkey Daddy


Now you may think the queen was some doctrinial fool


or like a monkey doing tricks around a touristic crew


i'd say a this here character was nothing like that


i think the forces of this planet


all were bound in this cat


I said:


Hey


My life is okay


{repeat until end}
