BBC NEWS | Entertainment | The Banana Splits in TV comeback

 

[Gayle]

I loved the Banana Splits so much in the 60s that I wrote my one and only letter to the BBC when the show got cancelled. I must have been about 7 years old and I was incenced that they cancelled it. I WILL be watching

Hahaha....I did the same, Gayle, when they shelved Playschool.

I was so upset.

It was too much for a girl of 22 to take.

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

One banana, two banana, three banana, four.
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Comin' on to bring you The Banana Splits Show.

Makin up a mess of fun
Makin up a mess of fun
Lot's of fun for everyone.

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

Four banana, three banana, two banana, one.
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun.
Flippin like a pancake, poppin like a cork
Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork.

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

I absolutely adored the Banana Splits, I thought they were the best thing ever.

Another favour was Noel Edmund's Multi Coloured Swapshop and Timmy Mallet - I can't remember what his programme was called but I managed to get hold of a mallet! I absolutely loved that guy - wonder what happened to him.
