Well I woke up one morning, And things were really strange,
I looked at my feet, And my toes had made a change…
Yes, I screamed, “Oh my!”
Yes, I screamed, “Oh no’s!”
I looked at my feet?
Bananas on my toes?
I looked at my feet, Bananas on my toes!
Bananas, bananas, I can’t believe my eyes,
My toes had bananas I’d count them by 5
Bananas, bananas, I can’t believe my eyes
My toes had bananas, I’d count them by 5
Well there wasn’t just one, and there weren’t just two
Five bananas stuck to each toe! What was I gonna’ do?
5 bananas on my big toe, bananas I did count
I knew it was correct!
I had the right amount!
1 - 2- 3- 4- 5 bananas on each toe.
And that’s not the place, that bananas oughta’ grow!
Bananas, bananas, I can't believe my eyes
My toes had bananas, I’d count them by 5
Bananas, bananas, I can’t believe my eyes,
My toes had bananas I’d count them by 5
Now I couldn’t count by 1’s Yeah, I had the counting blues
I couldn’t see my feet, but they weren’t in my shoes
So I went downstairs, my mom got quite a shock
“How many bananas did you squeeze inside each dirty sock?”
I counted by 5’s, to let my mother know, 'Cause I had 5 bananas growing on each toe!
Yeah, I had 5 bananas growing on each toe!
Here’s how I counted bananas on my toes
That was so fun, let’s do it again!
bananas on my toes and they taste so sweet!
Bananas, bananas, I can’t believe my eyes,
My toes had bananas I’d count them by 5
Bananas, bananas, I can’t believe my eyes,
My toes had bananas I’d count them by 5
Now, I thought having bananas on my toes, was something sweet
I’d always have bananas when I needed some to eat
But my mom said, not, and my mom said, no, you can’t walk around with bananas on your toes
No, you can’t walk around with bananas on your toes!
So I thought about, what I had to do, there was only one choice, you woulda’ chose it too!
I ate 50 bananas, like bees love a hive,
And I learned to count back, to count back by 5
And here’s how I counted back by 5
Let’s do it again!
Now my mom was happy, cause my toes had no more fruit
But I liked it when they did, banana toes looked cute,
if I couldn’t have bananas, I thought of something neat,
I’d grow some other fruit, on the toes of my feet!
So I grew 50 mangoes, on my toes, which I did count
Just to make sure I had the right amount!
Mangoes, mangoes, I can’t believe my eyes,
My toes grew some mangoes I’d count them by 5
Mangoes, mangtoes I can’t believe my eyes,
My toes grew some mangoes I’d count them by 5.
Here’s how I counted mangoes on my toes
That was such fun, let’s do it again
Mangoes on my toes and they taste so sweet!
Now I always have sweet mangoes, they’re growing in a bunch,
And I always have a mango for dessert right after lunch!
And that’s the story of how bananas and mangoes on my toes taught me how to count by 5
