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 [bad word] (says who?)
So [bad word] 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 [bad word]  (says you)
So [bad word] 
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
Earrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
