The sheet music:
Lyrics
Oh, can’t you hear the call of the Equator
Inviting you down Guatemala way?
Why don’t you hop a schooner or a freighter
And go there without much delay?
Chorus:
When Banana Blossoms Bloom in Guatemala
That’s the only place where you should really be
In banana blossom time in Guatemala
You will find that love just grows on every tree
A moon that’s yellow puts a spell upon the tropics
While the perfume of banana fill the air
When Banana Blossoms Bloom in Guatemala
You will find romance just grows in bunches there
