Zita Swoon - the bananaqueen lyrics

rate me

Man I drove down to Ghent in my underwear

I went looking for some new

funny clothes to wear

Was feeling 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

Listen

Dancing to a disco was the bananaqueen

Thoroughly surrounded by her royal

bananaking

I was mazed

She put a smile on my face

She said:

Hey man

You shouldn't be worried

About the good nor the bad

or all them stories

Just slowly point your life

In the right direction

And live it up the the max of true satisfaction

Hey

My life is OK

I said:

Hey

My life is OK

I said:

Hey

My life is OK

I said:

Hey

My life is OK

Maybe she was French

Maybe African or German

But it did not 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

Oh man just give me everything everything

Listen

She had an afroceltic fire and a philosophic thrill

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 Brown James Joyce

Donkey Daddy

Now you may think this queen

Was some doctrinial fool

Or like a monkey

Doing tricks around a touristic crew

I'd say man

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 OK
