Omega oil is good for rheumatism
So they declare
And olive oil is good upon a salad
Also on the hair
Though we know that castor oil
Always cures a pain
Banana oil is something new
So just let me explain

When he tells you 'I adore you'
That's banana oil
And she answers 'I'll die for you'
That's banana oil
He says 'When I buy the stone
'What a handsome ring you'll own'
But the only ring she gets
Is on the telephone

'You're the first boy ever kissed me'
That's banana oil
And 'I wonder if you'll miss me'
More banana oil
He says 'I'll do right by Nell'
Mother thinks that's simply swell
But dad is wise and he knows right well
That's banana oil

Now, Standard Oil is always advertising
We know that's so
They claim their oil is far more popular
Than any kind we know
But there is still another oil
Seems to rank supreme
It's what we call 'banana oil'
I'll tell you what I mean

When a girl says 'I'm just twenty'
That's banana oil
And 'Of money dad has plenty'
That's banana oil
I wonder what's become of maids
Used to wear their hair in braids
When you took them dancing
Ordered only lemonade

'Yes, my hair is naturally curly'
That's banana oil
And 'I've got to be home early'
More banana oil
Who says girls hate new clothes to wear?
Who says older men won't stare?
And who says our mas don't bob their hair?
That's banana oil

When he says 'Dear, you look charming'
That's banana oil
And she says 'I just love farming'
More banana oil
Now here's one thing I'll tell you what
Big oil men I've met a lot
But the only oil those birds have got
Is just banana oil
