about

This wizard is a close friend of "Ifty Kanift"y, the god of triple back somersaults. He can be found seated on an astral penumbra pretending to be the moon (when he is not engaged in mischief here on earth).

(Ash Mandrake PRS CAE/IPI 604124497)

lyrics

BANANAS IN THE SKY

Bananas in the sky am I.
Musa balbiciana, domus cellestiana
and my skin is tinged with blue,
for I am a sky banana.

What cheeky chimpanzee
did fling me from a tree
but never did I come to rest
on mountain land or sea

In the land of the ancients,
Papua new Guinea,
an ingenious tribe
did fashion out a catapult
of such propulsive thrust,
ballistic thump;
Oh What a rush!
that I was flung out into orbit.

Thinkest you the moon is made of cheese?
That shiny crescent in the sky is my banana.

And when I pose my my arms a knees to rest
there in the shape of chin and nose and crest of brow
smile winking at the earth.

Musa balbiciana, domus cellestiana
and my skin is tinged with blue,
for I am a sky banana.
