I don't hear any similarity between this one and "Yes! We Have No Bananas" either

An American novelty song from 1923; the most popular 1923 version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOrGCdUsFfM

Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes!_We_Have_No_Bananas
"The term has been resurrected on many occasions, including during
rationing in the *United Kingdom* in World War II, when the British
government banned imports of bananas for five years. Shop owners put
signs stating "Yes, we have no bananas" in their shop windows in
keeping with the war spirit.
