1. When you flyin' too high,

the main reason and cause
two ladies in de shade of de banana tree.
How delectable, desirous they can be,
in de balck, black shade of de banana tree

With lips poutin' to please,
an' eyes rollin to tease,
the most popular plan
designed to capture man,
two ladies in de shade of de banana tree.
What a frolickin' spectacle they can be,
in de ice-cold shade of de banana tree.

De night, they always fair,
nobody never wear
a stitch too much from here to here,
or even there to there.

A man's fortunate chile
to be born on this elegan' isle.
You need no weded wife.
To taste the joys of life.
Look?

laze away de day while de cock-a-too sings
fannin' yo face wid butterfly wings.
Shake to de music dat de street band brings.
Fool wid femininity fit fo' kings.)
