????Is this one of those funny non-sensicals, like Rose on the Golden Girls says, when the fancy restaurant waiter asks "how was the shrimp" she answers "I'll never know because I'm not Jewish" The back story was she thought he was going to ask her to marry him, but told her that sadly he couldn't because she wasn't Jewish. The shrimp thing is because he is a wonderful guy, but a midget, "Dr. Jonathan Newman", and she spent a sleepless night trying to figure out if that fact was going to keep her from marrying him, and she woke up thinking she would be crazy to let that get in the way of such a wonderful man.
@@georgetteconstant9050 It's just a reference to the game Lethal Company. The Company Cruiser, a car you can buy in the game, plays this song when you turn on it's radio.

There's a fruit store on our street It's run by a Greek And he keeps good things to eat But, you should hear him speak! When you ask him anything, he never answers "no" He just "yes's" you to death And, as he takes your dough, he tells you: "Yes, of course, we have no bananas We have no bananas today! We've string beans and onions Cabbages and scallions And all kinds of fruit And say - we have an old fashioned tomato A Long Island potato! But, yes, we have no bananas We have no bananas today!" Business got so good with him, he wrote home to say: "Send me Pete, 'n' Nick, 'n' Jim, I need help right away!" When he got them in the store, there was fun you bet Someone asked for sparrow grass And then the whole quartet all answered: "Yes, we have no bananas We have no bananas today! Just buy those coconuts, those walnuts, and doughnuts There aren't many nuts like they We'll sell you two kinds of red herring Dark brown, and ball-bearing But, yes, we have no bananas We have no bananas today!" [Spoken interlude, outro] You got a strum'berry pie? Yes, I don't think we got strum'berry pie You got coconut pie? Yes, I don't think we got coconut pie I'll have one cup of coffee We got-a no coffee Well, wha' do you got? I got a banan' Ooo, you got a banan'? Yes, we got-a no banan', no banan', no banana. We gotta no bananas today. I'm very sorry, I tell-a you got a no banan'. Hey Mariana, you got-a no banana? Why, this-a man, he's no believe what I say. Now, what do you want mister, you wanna buy a twelve for a quarter? Well, guess-a what I'm-a gonna do? I'ma call-a my daughter Hey Mariana, you got-a banana? Yes? No? Yes, banana. no? Yes? no-no? No banana today, no bananas
Told a guy who was putting them out at the grocery about this song. Told him 'google yes we have no bananas' I had forgotten the part about the fruit seller who says 'yes' to everything, hence the title. Funny. And bananas are honestly to god the only thing I am allergic to, they make my ears itch and have since I was little.

As of yesterday, this specific recording is in the public domain in the US. Very nice!
Based alert
This song swam through a hundred years of time to reach my ears today.
Yes, We have no bananas...
Amazing how clear the voice is! Even the sibilants are very clear for an acoustic record
I recall liking this song as a kid in the 60s.
Love this song. Sang it as a kid.
We gettin to quota with this one!
i have this song into something im working for, and its ADDICTING.
What plays over my burning corpse because I tried to reverse over a rock in experimentation without shifting gear.

This sounded familiar, but i wanted to add it to my playlist, and it turns out i already added it to my playlist😂😂

I have Bennie Krueger’s version of this on Brunswick from the same year. Billy Jones does the vocal in that one too!
There's a fruit store on our street
It's run by a Greek
And he keeps good things to eat
But, you should hear him speak!
When you ask him anything, he never answers "no"
He just "yes's" you to death
And, as he takes your dough, he tells you:
"Yes, of course, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today!
We've string beans and onions
Cabbages and scallions
And all kinds of fruit
And say - we have an old fashioned tomato
A Long Island potato!
But, yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today!"
Business got so good with him, he wrote home to say:
"Send me Pete, 'n' Nick, 'n' Jim, I need help right away!"
When he got them in the store, there was fun you bet
Someone asked for sparrow grass
And then the whole quartet all answered:
"Yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today!
Just buy those coconuts, those walnuts, and doughnuts
There aren't many nuts like they
We'll sell you two kinds of red herring
Dark brown, and ball-bearing
But, yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today!"
[Spoken interlude, outro]
You got a strum'berry pie?
Yes, I don't think we got strum'berry pie
You got coconut pie?
Yes, I don't think we got coconut pie
I'll have one cup of coffee
We got-a no coffee
Well, wha' do you got?
I got a banan'
Ooo, you got a banan'?
Yes, we got-a no banan', no banan', no banana. We gotta no bananas today. I'm very sorry, I tell-a you got a no banan'.
Hey Mariana, you got-a no banana? Why, this-a man, he's no believe what I say. Now, what do you want mister, you wanna buy a twelve for a quarter? Well, guess-a what I'm-a gonna do? I'ma call-a my daughter
Hey Mariana, you got-a banana? Yes? No? Yes, banana. no? Yes? no-no?
No banana today, no bananas
Recorded in June 1923.
“Yes! We Have No Bananas”

Happy Public Domain day everyone!
Buzzfeed unsolved brought me here
same lmfao
i wonder if they have bananas now
🤪
Yes, they still don't have bananas in stock.
They might be a little rotten
Well yes, but actually no
This is a different version of this song. Compared to the one i have on Victor. With the Great White Way Orchestra with Billy Murray.
There seem to be a number of versions of this song. I have one on an Edison cylinder as well.
@@dgmelvin cool!

The Greek in question was my Great Grandfather. 🍌

@@sasnyc87 yes, he doesn't have them
can i have this as my theme song
I'd love that
I mean... the copyright's expired, go nuts.
Im the ine guy who doesnt like this somg i guess
I get what you are saying. I like the record, but it far from my favorite. But, it seems to be a pretty popular song.
A lot of people didn't like it at all, even at the time, check out the track "I've got the Yes we have no bananas Blues"
