"Please Learn Some Manners, Bananas" is the last song from Richard Scarry's Best Learning Songs Video Ever!, but only before the encore. It is sung by Huckle Cat, Sally Cat, Freddie Fox and Rhonda Raccoon to teach Bananas Gorilla about using his good manners by dedicating it to him. The edited and shortened instrumental version of the song is used in the credits at the end of this video. However, the edited and shortened instrumental version uses different instruments. This song is dedicated to Bananas Gorilla in his honor and it's in E-flat major.

(Spoken)
Huckle: Maybe it's time for us to sing a song that's just for Bananas Gorilla.
Rhonda: Bananas Gorilla, we like you a lot
Freddie: But manners are something you just haven't got
(Sung)
Huckle, Sally, Rhonda and Freddie: Please learn some manners, Bananas
Please learn some nice things to say
Please learn some manners, Bananas
And we'll have a much nicer day
(Spoken)
Sally: If you say "please," it would be nice
You wouldn't have to ask me twice
Bananas Gorilla: Please?
Freddie: Say "thank you," that's what you should do
When someone has been nice to you
Bananas Gorilla: Thank you!
Freddie: You're welcome.
Rhonda: Share with me, I'll share with you
'Cause sharing is the thing to do
Thank you, Bananas.
Bananas Gorilla: You're welcome.
(Sung)
Huckle, Sally, Rhonda and Freddie: You've learned some manners, Bananas
You've learned those nice things to say
You've learned some manners, Bananas
And we've had a much nicer day
(Spoken by the clapping crowd, waving their hands in the air)
Girls' Voices: Yay, Bananas!
Men's Voices: Nice job, Bananas. Very good. Way to go.
