"Snake Bananza"[2] is a song composed by Naoto Kubo for Donkey Kong Bananza, where it plays when Donkey Kong transforms into the Snake Bananza form. It is performed in-universe by Pauline, who is voiced by Jenny Kidd. As with the other Bananza themes, the song's lyrics are almost entirely gibberish.
Lyrics[edit]
The following is a transcription of the song's lyrics from the Donkey Kong Bananza Kanzen Kōryakubon by Nintendo DREAM.
Sateena tyew-las too-la wellic keela fis.
Rockyna weels-fona wis shoo kis-shoo.Sateena tooo wat tyew-las too-la fis.
Wockina weels-tola wis-shoo gis-shoos too wee la.Yo wina guill-a bee lays-tee wolleena tat,

Say-veena for-veenas!Proda fo res-teenee
