Oh, you might be surprised
When it comes to bananas
There are many kinds
Banana rainbow
So many colors and sizes
So many different flavors
For you to try
Oh, the regular banana is called a Cavendish
There are lots of other kinds that are so delish
The Blue Java tastes like vanilla ice cream
The Manzano banana is an apple-y dream
Grab a Burro banana, it's tangy and sweet
Or fry a Pink French for a savory treat
Or a Crocodile, Tiger, or Mysore
Plantain, Goldfinger, and many more
Banana rainbow, whoa
Yummy yummy yummy, there's more than just one

Oh, years ago, therе was a banana
That people called the Big Mike
It was sweet and delicious with a slippery peel
It was the one everybody liked
But the Big Mike banana was prone to disease
And they weren't cultivating more varieties
Big Mike got sick and went away
And there were no bananas for many a day
Now the lesson for you and me
Is very plain to see
The banana world is stronger with banana diversity
It's a banana rainbow all around the world!
