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 your feeling blue Or are 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 your ear a banana cheer 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 sphere So go and put a banana in your Ear
