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
