And not very well known forgery trivia is that this tune is typically sung during the ritual signings of banana Mantle forgeries:

And coincidentally, when Mantle himself signed, he always sung this tune:

Actually, it was this song Mick used to sing when he signed...sing along!!! 

Tra la la tra la la la
Tra la la tra la la la
Tra la la tra la la la
Tra la la tra la la la

One banana two banana three banana four
All bananas make a split so do many more
Over hill and highway the banana Mantle's go
Come along to bring you the banana splits show

Four banana three banana two banana one
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun
Flipping like a pancake popping like a cork
Fleagle Mickey drooper and snork

Making up a mess of fun
Making up a mess of fun
Making up a mess of fun
Lots of fun for everyone
