Yes! We Have No Bananas

Written by	Frank Silver and Irving Cohn

Kermit and Chicken Liver lip-synched to this song in the early 1960s when they made a guest appearance on The Today Show. It is likely that they performed this song on Sam and Friends as well.

On episode 208 of The Muppet Show, Marvin Suggs and the All-Food Glee Club auditioned by singing this song. The singing vegetables also performed a short version of the song during the opening of episode 510.

The Swedish Chef later sang this song (in mock-Swedish) in episode 412 with some of the vegetables also singing in mock-Swedish.
