Charlie you look quite down
With your big sad eyes
And your big fat frown

The world doesn't have to be so gray

Charlie when your life's a mess
When you're feeling blue
Or are in distress

I know what can wipe that sad away

All you have to do is
Put a banana in your ear
(a banana in my ear?)
Put the right banana right into your favorite ear

It's true
(says who?)
So true

Once it's in your gloom will dissapear
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 will 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 in this big blue spere

So go and put a banana in your
Ear!
