Scouting for Golden Bananas

Golden Banana (Faster Than the Speed of Sound)

Verse 1

Met my mate on a sunny afternoon,

No big plans, just whistling a tune.

Walking through the park with nowhere to be,

Laughing at the ducks by the old oak tree.

Then something shimmered underneath the light,

Glowing in the grass, what a crazy sight.

A banana made of solid gold,

The weirdest thing these eyes could ever hold.

Pre-Chorus

He said, "Don't eat that, it could be strange!"

I just smiled and said, "Let's make a change..."

I took one bite, then another two,

A flash of gold and the whole world flew.

The wind stood still while I raced away,

My ordinary life changed that day.

Chorus

And now I'm running around faster than the speed of sound.

You hear my steps, you look my way, but I'm nowhere to be found.

(I'm long gone baaaaby)

And now I'm passing cars, I'm passing jets, I'm the fastest thing in the Pacific west.

(Come caaaatch me baby)

This ain't no joke, this ain't no hoot,

And I owe it all to that golden piece of fruit.

Verse 2

Now every siren echoes through the streets,

I'm there before the danger even meets.

Stopping thieves before they make a dash,

Saving kittens in a golden flash.

Helping strangers, lending every hand,

Fastest hero in the whole wide land.

No cape needed, trainers on my feet,

Justice always keeps a steady beat.

Bridge

From a lazy walk in the afternoon,

To racing underneath the moon.

Who'd have thought one lucky snack

Would mean there'd be no turning back?

Verse 3

And then one fateful day the magic faded fast,

The golden banana's power couldn't last.

My lightning legs slowed down once more,

No longer flying like I did before.

But every lesson stayed with me,

A hero's heart is always free.

You don't need speed to do what's right,

Just courage shining bright.

Final Chorus

I used to be flying, running around faster than the speed of sound.

You'd hear my steps, you'd look my way, but I was nowhere to be found.

(But they're all gone baaaaby)

I used to pass the cars, I used to pass the jets,

And now I'm just as slow as all the rest.

(I'm a slowpoke baby)

I swear I was, this ain't no hoot,

And it was all because of a golden piece of fruit.

Outro

So if you're strolling through the park one day,

And something golden catches your eye along the way,

Remember this hero's tale from start to finish,

Because with great power comes great responsibility.
