Jelly Bean

(album: Early Years - 1990)

Jelly bean, Jelly Bean
I thought your name was good for you
And it fits you to a two
And I'll tell you why it's true
Because you're sweet and smart and wild
And a penny to the pound
Oh Jelly Bean!

There's a guy who lives in Albarn
His name is Curly Carr
Each night he comes on down the street
A-packing his guitar
Stops at Jelly Bean's house
That pretty little thing
Bounce his head and bends his knees
You ought to hear him sing

Jelly Bean comes through the window
And she listens for a while
Barely even blinks her eye
She's always in a smile
Tosses up a pretty curl
It turns to gold

Grabs his guitar one more time
And sings his tale of old

Jelly Bean!
Whoo
Jelly Bean!
Yeah that's my gal
Jelly Bean!
