Lyrics

(?) How Fred L-Lloyd tennis shoe
Suddenly I want to see you
For up the landing
Clouds of spray
Oh to see the sunrise once
Sailing in a banana boat
Spiders in the bunches
Biting can spell death
Trading post in Mosambasa
Seventeen one franc pieces
Two ten franc notes
Leather purse today

Chronology

Interpretations

  • References Harry Belafonte's "Day-O (Banana Boat Song)": "A beautiful bunch of ripe banana / hide the deadly black tarantula"
  • (wild speculation) The first line could be a mangling of "Alfred, the Lord Tennyson"
