lyrics

Sam, Sam, banana man
Ripes and risk
Annex Honduras
Big Mike exodus
Get ‘em cheap, sell ‘em quick
Went into the jungle at seventeen
At twenty-one, by God, came out rich
He said “a mule costs more than a Honduran deputy”
Con oídos en el suelo

Edward Bernays
Middle America Information Bureau
Oh, lights of freedom
Señorita Chiquita Banana

Peurifoy, John Peurifoy
Pistol packing Peurifoy
A star spangled banner kind of guy
He knew exactly where the bombs would fall
Go figure

Eli's plunge into the Black
Briefcase packed with retirement plan
Smashed it through the glass
Freedom bound, 44 stories down

Not gone, but certainly forgotten
