Lyrics of
Banana Pancakes

Banana Pancakes was written by Jack Johnson, inspired by the idea of spending a lazy day with a loved one, particularly on a rainy day when staying in is more appealing. The song revolves around creating a cozy atmosphere and enjoying the simplicity of each others company, highlighting the notion of slowing down and appreciating the small moments.

But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you
This song is meant to keep you
From doin' what you're supposed to
Wakin' up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
Make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

But just maybe, laka ukulele
Mama made a baby
Really don't mind to practice
Because you're my little lady
Lady, lady love me
'Cause I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains
Pretend like there's no world outside

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside
Ain't no need, ain't no need
mmmm mmmm
Can't you see, can't you see
Rain all day and I don't mind

But the telephone's singing, ringing
It's too early, don't pick it up, we don't need to
We got everything we need right here
And everything we need is enough, just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
Wake up slow
mmmm mmmm
Wake up slow

But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you
This song is meant to keep you
From doin' what you're supposed to
Wakin' up too early
Maybe we could sleep
Make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside
Ain't no need, ain't no need
Rain all day and I really, really, really don't mind
Can't you see, can't you see
You gotta wake up slow
