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 you're 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 favorite 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 you 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 on this big blue sphere
So go and put a banana in your ear!

Earrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
