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'

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