Blank tape on the M-I-C
Ah
With my
Banana
Kung ayaw mong nabibitin sa taste
I-try mo itong banana ko babe
Ito ay long, di ka magsisisi sa size
Masarap, matamis at mahaba at panalo pa ang price
Sige i-try mong aking banana
Pag natikman mo to, di magsasawa
Dahil masustansya ang aking banana
At ubod pa ng sarap aking banana
Kaya itry mo aking banana
Para malaman mo kung bakit ba
Paborito ng lahat aking banana
Kaya ang bumibili ay pila-pila
Did you know, ubos lagi ang paninda ko
Di na to inaabot ng night
Sa dami nang suki ko
Tignan mo, aking saging ngayon ay in
Pinipilahan nang lahat
Ganyan katindi aking saging
Sige i-try mong aking banana
Pag natikman mo to, di magsasawa
Dahil masustansya ang aking banana
At ubod pa ng sarap aking banana
Kaya itry mo aking banana
Para malaman mo kung bakit ba
Paborito ng lahat aking banana
Kaya ang bumibili ay pila-pila
If you buy (ay may dagdag)
Basta sa akin ka mag-buy (ay may dagdag)
Di mo na kailangan pang ma-shy (yes may dagdag)
Kasi suki kita 'day (ay may dagdag, yes may dagdag)
If you buy (ay may dagdag)
Basta sa akin ka mag-buy (ay may dagdag)
Di mo na kailangan pang ma-shy (yes may dagdag)
Kasi suki kita ā²day (ay may dagdag, yes may dagdag)
Sige i-try mong aking banana
Pag natikman mo to, di magsasawa
Dahil masustansya ang aking banana
At ubod pa ng sarap aking banana
Kaya itry mo aking banana
Para malaman mo kung bakit ba
Paborito ng lahat aking banana
Kaya ang bumibili ay pila-pila
I want you to buy, baby (I want you to buy)
I want you to try, baby (I want you to try)
Bago ka pa mahuli (Bago ka mahuli)
At nang di ka na magsisi (Nang di ka na magsisi)
I want you to buy, baby (I want you to buy)
I want you to try, baby (Oh, I want you to try)
Just wish you could buy, baby (Just wish you could buy)
Kahit on time baby (Oh, kahit on time)
Sige i-try mong aking banana
Pag natikman mo to, di magsasawa
Dahil masustansya ang aking banana
At ubod pa ng sarap aking banana
Kaya itry mo aking banana
Para malaman mo kung bakit ba
Paborito ng lahat aking banana
Kaya ang bumibili ay pila-pila
