Jelly bean, jelly bean
Well that's the name we picked for you
And it fits you to-a-t
And now I tell you why it's true
'Cause you're sweet '' swell '' round
And a-pretty to the pound, jelly bean
There's a guy who lives in our block
His name is curly carr
Each night he comes around the street
Packin' his guitar
Stops at jelly bean's house
That pretty little thing
Bows his head and bends his knees
You oughta hear him sing
Jelly bean comes to the window
And she listens for a while
Never even blinks her eye, always in a smile
Tosses up her pretty curls and turns to go
Packs his guitar on more time
And sings his tale of woe
