I heard this song on The Front Porch radio show on NPR Sunday night, and I've been humming it ever since. I found the lyrics online, and a sample of the music. I thought you might like it too.

Lyrics:
Little Green Buttons
--Shel Silverstein and Fred Koller
The honeymoon ended a decade ago.
If he still loves her, he don't say so.
So she's taking her blues to the House of Tattoos,
Getting little green buttons on her birthday suit.
Little green buttons, all in a row
From her face to the place they ain't never gonna show.
Might sound crazy but they sure look cute,
Those little green buttons on her birthday suit.
She had supper in the oven when he came home.
Now he's snoring on the sofa to the Late, Late Show.
It was ten days later before he knew
'Bout those little green buttons on her birthday suit.
But now she's living in a house of love,
She's got his attention, he can't get enough.
He spends every evening trying to undo
Those little green buttons on her birthday suit.
