Jumping Beans Lyrics - Frank Black

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
