- Musically, as this writer has often pointed out, ["Yes! We Have No Bananas"] had a most distinguished background, for its chorus melody was borrowed, consciously or unconsciously, from Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus, the finish of My Bonnie, I Dreamt That I Dwelt in Marble Halls , and Aunt Dinah’s Quilting Party . It makes an amusing trick to sing the original words wherever possible, creating this extraordinary text: “Hallelujah, Bananas! Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me. I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls—the kind that you seldom see. I was seeing Nellie home, to an old-fashioned garden; but, Hallelujah, Bananas! Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me!” (en)
