lyrics

Gather around and I'll tell you the facts
Of what really happens to all your earwax
Well a maintenance man appears every night
To clean out your ears and vanish from sight
(But you better be good, you better be good, you better be good)
He carries a tool to scrape and to scour
He's typically in and out in one hour
(But you better be good, you better be good, you better be good)  
With a magnifying glass he picks out a spot
And makes up his mind who's worthy or not
(So you better be good, you better be good, you better be good)  

The Ear Fairy, nice but scary, just beware he
Only comes if you've been good so please be good

Meticulously he leaves no trace
Except for the pleasure plastered on his face
He takes the wax home contained in a jar
And gradually builds up a sculpture bizarre
(But you better be good, you better be good, you better be good)  
Collecting them all, lifelike effigies
To help him recall the people he meets
(But you better be good, you better be good, you better be good)
But The Ear Fairy's motives are not what they seem
As he scampers about and dines on our dreams
(Oh but you better be good, you better be good, you better be good)   

The Ear Fairy, nice but scary, just beware he
Only comes if you've been good so please be good,
Oh please be good, yes please be good, Oh please be good
