Jumping Beans

When I was just a little boy

My Daddy gave me a special something

Then he explained about the toy

No they can't go

No way no they're jumping

Now time and space began to squirm

And that little squirm turned into bumping

I once did hear a little worm

And they can't go

No way no they're jumping

And though they may not understand

Did feel the burning in my hand

They're jumping beans, I'd like to know why I'll die, why

They're jumping beans, I'd like to know why I'll die, why why why

I put the beans in my shirt pocket

So close to my heart that is pumping

I'd even take them in a rocket

But I can't go

No way no I'm jumping

The time and space began to squirm

And that little squirm turned into bumping

I once did hear a little worm

And they can't go

No way no they're jumping

Though they may not understand

Yeah did feel the burning in my hand

They're jumping beans, I'd like to know why I'll die, why

They're jumping beans, I'd like to know why I'll die, why why why

So come on

Though they may not understand

Did feel the burning in my hand

They're jumping beans, I'd like to know why I'll die, why

Them jumping bean they like to go round round round round
