Essentially the central moral theme of Cobalt The Blue Door, laziness in the main character is a recurring thread throughout. While Jack eventually learns his lesson and comes to grips with his own laziness and the need to overcome it with some hard work and diligence, this song is the focal point of the story.

The sluggard lay in bed all day And told the world to go away And so the fool had naught to eat When finally he gained his feet! He loved his sleep so well that he Grew roots and turned into a tree But the only fruit that he could bear Was sour green bananas! Bananas! Bananas! The sluggard went bananas! When told to roll out of his bed The sluggard went bananas! So if youre prone to lay in bed And cover up your lazy head Dont be surprised if the fruit it bears Is sour green bananas! Bananas! Bananas! The sluggard went bananas! When told to roll out of his bed The sluggard went bananas!
