                    A
Hopping over on the white hot sand
 
Here he come with some for me
                     D
Freshly taken from banana tree
 
(1,2,3,4)

Verse 2:
D
Tonight we dance around the flame
                        A
Then we get to play the spirit game
 
Spirit names we shout out loud
                           D
Shake the thunder from the spirit cloud
 

D
All the songbirds in the tree
                        A
Chant a tune to let the spirits free
 
Then we see them in the night
                        D
Spirits jumpin' by the fire light
 
Chorus:
G               D

Verse 4:
   D  
Forget all your troubles and go with the flow
   D  
Forget about whatever you may never know
             D  
Like whether whatever you doing is whatever you should
            D
And whether anything you ever do is ever anything good
         D                             A
And then forget about banana when it stick in your throat
         D                                 A
And when it make you wanna bellow but you stuck in a choke

Em                               A
