Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh
Chorus
Oh pears, bananas and chocolates, a good ripe fruit.
The women down in Moore street, are so very cute.
Pears, bananas and chocolates, you’ll always hear them cry.
Keep your hands off the apples, if you’re not going ta buy.
Oh the women down in Moore street, always wears a grin.
With their little head scarf tied underneath their chin.
Great big juicy oranges, a euro now for ten.
And a bunch of bananas, for the same again.
Chorus
Oh pears, bananas and chocolates a good ripe fruit.
The women down in Moore street, are so very cute.
Pears, bananas and chocolates, you’ll always hear them cry.
Keep your hands off the apples, if you’re not going ta buy.
All throughout the winter, standing in the cold.
Till most of what they got, everything is sold.
In summer it’s grand a selling in the sun.
All throughout the year, they’re always full of fun.
Chorus
Oh pears, bananas and chocolates a good ripe fruit.
The women down in Moore street, are so very cute.
Pears, bananas and chocolates, you’ll always hear them cry.
Keep your hands off the apples, if you’re not going ta buy.
”Spoken”
“Pears, bananas and chocolates, a good ripe fruit.
Keep your hands off the apples, if your not buying “em.
Pears, two for ten for the pears, the last pears now two for ten.
Keep your hands off the apples, go away now ya cur ya.”
Chorus
Oh pears, bananas and chocolates, a good ripe fruit.
The women down in Moore street, are so very cute.
Pears, bananas and chocolates, you’ll always hear them cry.
Keep your hands off the apples, if your not going ta buy.
The women down in Moore street, always wears a grin.
With their little head scarf tied underneath their chin.
Great big juicy oranges, a euro now for ten.
And a bunch of bananas, for the same again.
Chorus
Oh pears, bananas and chocolates, a good ripe fruit.
The women down in Moore street, are so very cute.
Pears, bananas and chocolates, you’ll always hear them cry.
Keep your hands off the apples, if your not going ta buy.
”Spoken”
“Pears, bananas and chocolates, a good ripe fruit.
Keep your hands off the apples, if your not buying “em.”
“Lovely juicy melons.”
“Did ye ever see melons like that sir?”
“Oh, Jaysus Christ!”
