Put a Banana in Your Ear

Charlie, you look quite down

With your big fat eyes and your big fat frown

The world doesn't have to be so grey

Charlie, when your life's a mess

When you're feeling blue, always in distress

I know what can wash that sad away

All you have to do is:

Put a banana in your ear!

(A banana in my ear?)

Put a ripe banana right into your favourite ear!

It's true

(Says who?)

So true

Once it's in, your gloom will disappear

The bad in the world is hard to hear

When in your ear a banana cheers

So go and put a banana in your ear!

Put a banana in your ear!

(I'd rather keep my ear clear)

You'll never be happy if you live your life in fear

It's true

(Says you)

So true

When it's in the skies are bright and clear

Oh, every day of every year

The sun shines bright on this big blue sphere

So go and put a banana in your e-e-e-e-ear!
