A           B             G
When I was just a little boy
My Daddy gave me a special something
And he explained about the toy

          A        B                      G
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they...

And 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 nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they...

And though they may not understand
Did feel the burning in my hand
Them jumping beans are like no other
Yeah, them jumping beans are like no other,
wah wah wah

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 nowhere though I'm jumping
No, I can't go nowhere though I'm jumping
No, I can't go nowhere though I'm jumping
No, I can't go nowhere though I'm jumping
No, I can't go nowhere though I'm jumping
No, I...

And 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 nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they...

Though they may not understand
Yeah, did feel the burning in my hand
Them jumping beans are like no other
Yeah, them jumping beans are like no other,
wah wah wah

And though they may not understand
Yeah, did feel the burning in my hand
Them jumping beans are like no other
Yeah, them jumping beans are like no other,
wah wah wah

No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they can't go nowhere though they're jumping
No, they...
