In a laboratory, late one night
There began the story
Lightning flashed, and something missed
A poor old crazy scientist
Dropped a bag of jelly beans
Into his Frankenstein machine
And Shrimpenstein
Was created in just half the time
That it takes to make a Frankenstein
And so you see
He’s half the size of you and me
And though he’ll try, he can’t be mean
He’s just a little walking jelly bean.”
