Jacques Duvall's "Banana Split" is a song about teenage love and the excitement of experiencing new things in a relationship. The lyrics "Ça me déplairait pas que tu m′embrasses na na na / Mais faut saisir ta chance avant qu'elle passe na na na" translate to "I wouldn't mind if you kissed me na na na / But you have to seize your chance before it passes na na na". The song encourages young love to take risks and try new things before the opportunity slips away.
The lyrics also make several references to the dessert, banana split, and its various components. The chorus repeats "Banana na na na na banana split" while also mentioning the "cherries" used in the dessert. The verse "Les cerises confites sont des lipsticks na na na / Qui laissent des marques rouges sur l′antarctique na na na" translates to "The candied cherries are like lipsticks na na na / That leave red marks on the Antarctic na na na". The song uses the dessert as a metaphor for the excitement and adventure of young love.
