Loving you has made me bananas,

Loving you has made me bananas,

Oh, you burnt your finger that evening,
While my back was turned,
I asked the waiter for iodine,
But I dined all alone,

Verse 3
Oh, your red scarf matches your eyes,
You closed your cover before striking,
Father had the shipfitter blues,
Loving you has made me bananas
