Verse:
Smokin' banana peels, see how it feels
Living is easy with ice cubes
The world is swimmin' with electric eels
Talk seriously to me brother
Smokin' banana peels, savin' the seals
There are four me's living all together
Got to keep an even keel
You've got to take life serially
Smokin' banana peels in between meals
I was all pumped up about the iron
Let's all pray get down and kneel
Smokin' banana peels sound like this

The timing is even throughout, I've just divided into
blocks of 4 strums so that it's easier to follow and count.


"Mellow" Bit:

Bb     Eb       Bb     Eb
Mellow, it's so mellow
Bb     Eb       Bb     Eb
Mellow, it's so mellow
G   Bb        Eb      F
No!  It's too mellow!  ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
G   Bb        Eb      F
No!  It's too mellow!  ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Play all of that twice.


Post Verse Again:

Verse:
Smokin' banana peels, nothin' is real
Mites are living in your eyelashes
People are makin' important deals
They're my fingernails and I'm keeping em
Smokin' banana peels, savin' the seals
(???)
Up and down between your heels
Dip your breasts in shimmering lip balm
Talk to me about Elvis
Take Elvis for walk and shut up
