I'm glad to finally find the lyrics to this song so I can prove to my husband that I'm not making it up. I remember it from when I was a child in 1965. I was one of those children who put something in my ear, only it wasn't a bean and I ended up in the hospital having surgery to remove it!!! I did it because I was bored in school one day I guess. I remember I was humming the song at that time.
