My Brother Stuck a Bean Up His Nose - song lyric

The doctor worked an hour in the operating room
with a forceps and a cocktail fork.
He gave his diagnosis in a voice of doom...
"It's stuck tighter than a cork!"

Chorus:
Oh... My brother stuck a bean up his nose, up his nose.
My brother stuck a bean up his nose.
We're hoping that it never grows, never grows!
My brother stuck a bean up his nose.

A navy bean a pinto bean a slimy little lima bean.
A coffee bean a cocoa bean. Nobody knows what kinda bean.

We tied him to a chair and turned the power drill on.
We ran it for a moment or two.
When the smoke had cleared, the drill bit was gone...
But that bean seemed as good as new!

Repeat Chorus

A jelly bean vanilla bean a jittery jiving jumping bean.
A kidney bean a butter bean. Some kind of sticky stubborn bean.

We tried to blast it out with a stick of dynamite.
It was the greatest nose blow ever judged.
My brother was thrown three counties to the right...
But that stubborn little bean never budged!

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

The story that I've told you happened many years ago.
Now my brother has a future wife.
We told her, "Welcome to the family, but you really ought to know...
He'll have a bean up his nose all his life!"

Repeat Chorus
