Original 1926 sheet music for “I’ve Never Seen a Straight Banana” by Ted Waite, published by Irving Berlin, Inc., New York (1607 Broadway).


A rare and humorous vaudeville-era novelty song, this piece became part of early American comic-song history. The cover features a whimsical banana pattern — iconic of 1920s graphic style — and is far better preserved than most known copies. The only comparable example noted publicly is in the Washington Banana Museum collection.


Condition: Very good vintage condition for its age. Slight edge wear only; spine complete and intact; no tears, markings, or signatures. Interior pages clean and legible.
