Well, thanks everyone who replied to my request for the "Banana Splits",

here's what i came up with in the end. If you don't like it let me know what

you don't like about it and i'll try to fix it. Good luck! It's a good

little tune that everyone sorta knows but can't remember the words.

ABOUT THE SONG: each verse is a semi-tone higher than the last so when

changing verses slide into it to enhance the sound of raising the pitch.

Example, when changing between the chorus and second verse make sure you

slide the F to F#.

INtroduction Chorus:

Tra-la-la la-la-la-la

Tra-la-la la-la-la-la

(x2)

Verse 1:

One banana, two bananas, three bananas, four

Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more

Over hills and highway the banana buggies go

Coming on to bring you the banana splits show

Tra-la-la la-la-la-la

Tra-la-la la-la-la-la

(x2)

Verse 2:

Four bananas, three bananas, two bananas, one

All bananas playing in the bright warm sun

Flipping like a pancake, popping like a cork

Fleagle, bingo, drupper and snork

Tra-la-la la-la-la-la

F# C# F# (use a c shape chord here on the next

Tra-la-la la-la-la-la frets up because the change is quick.)

(x2)

Freakin' out and havin' f-un (the chords in the bridge i play

B C B as bar chords. E.g g-3rd fret,

Freakin' out and havin' f-un a-5th fret, B-7th fret, c-8th fret

D E D etc.)

Lots of fun for everyo-one

Tra-la-la la-la-la-la

Tra-la-la la-la-la-la

(x2)

End the song any way you want (Even with an oh-o Jungo.)

Well good luck guys. It's a groovy piece.

-Rolfey.
