English

You bow to the left, you bow to the right
You take your partner's hand and you hold on tight
You pull him in close and you don't let go
Now you're doin' the Banana Do-si-do!

You push him back quick then you pull him in fast
You spin him real hard to make the dizziness last
You grab him by the shoulders and you shake him like so
Now you're doin' the Banana Do-si-do!

You grab him by the waist, lift him high in the air
If you throw him high enough, he'll need intensive care
You're doin' a hand-stand, you're walkin' real slow
Now you're doin' the Banana Do-si-do!

You promenade as you're dancing through the Everglades
Skip to the beat 'til you can't feel your feet!

You grab him by the sides and you bend him in half
You tickle his feet so it makes him laugh
Hold him in your arms, rock him to-and-fro
Now you're doin' the Banana Do-si-do!
Doin' the Banana Do-si-do!

Translation

Te inclinas a la izquierda y luego a la derecha Y tomas de la mano a tu pareja La jalas hacía a tí sin soltar ¡Y el Banana Do-si-do bailarás! Empujas hacia atrás y hacia el frente Con fuerza, los mareas girando de repente Los tomas de los hombros y debes agitar ¡Y el Banana Do-si-do bailarás! Toma la cintura y debes arrojar Si lo haces como debe, llegarán al hospital Te paras de cabeza y lejos debes caminar ¡Y el Banana Do-si-do bailarás! Vas a pasear por todo el pantano al bailar Debes saltar con este ritmo especial Lo tomas de los lados y lo debes inclinar Con cosquillas en los pies lo haces carcajear Te meces con los brazos hacia el frente y hacia atrás ¡Y el Banana Do-si-do bailarás! ¡Y el Banana Do-si-do bailarás!

You bow to the left and then to the right And take your partner's hand Pull them toward you without letting go And you'll dance the Banana Do-si-do! Push back and forth With force, you make them dizzy by suddenly spinning around Grab them by the shoulders and you have to shake them And you’ll dance the Banana Do-si-do! Grab their waist and you must toss them If you do it right, they’ll end up in the hospital Stand on your head and walk far away And you’ll dance the Banana Do-si-do! You’ll wander all over the swamp while dancing You must jump to this special rhythm Grab them by the sides and tilt them Tickle their feet and make them laugh Swing your arms back and forth And you’ll dance the Banana Do-si-do! And you’ll dance the Banana Do-si-do!
