Sweet Banana, the regimental song of the Rhodesian African Rifles (1916-1981).

A, B, C, D, E Headquarters I will buy you a sweet banana
A, B, C, D, E Headquarters I will buy you a sweet banana

Banana, Banana, Banana, I will buy you a sweet banana

Shield spear and knobkerrie, soldiers in war and peace
In war she fights with bravery, I will buy you a sweet banana

One Two and the Depot RAR-O, I will buy you a sweet banana
One Two and the Depot RAR-O, I will buy you a sweet banana
Banana, Banana, Banana, I will buy you a sweet banana

Shield spear and knobkerrie, soldiers in war and peace
In war she fights with bravery, I will buy you a sweet banana

Rhodesia, Burma, Egypt ne Malaya takarwa tika kunda

    To hear this sung, unaccompanied, by up to 200 soldiers at a retreat parade at the regiment’s baracks in Matabeleland in the late seventies was an experience I shall never forget.
