String Bean Jean

Belle And Sebastian

I got my fingers dirty at the school of rock


Yeah I got my fingers dirty so I took a walk


I went up to the country park and hung around till after dark


Till the girls got home


Till the girls got home





Did I tell you 'bout the one I know, she's on the rag


She spent the summer day inside her sleeping bag


Yeah she spent the summer day inside until it's time to work


And she works all night


Cause the girl's all right





The girls have got a house that's like a caravan


And it's like your holidays whenever you go round


And we always have a laugh and then we all get in the bath


To save on the leccy bill


Me & Jo & Phil'





I had to leave them in the morning


I left the keys around the way


I had to catch a bus


I had to leave them in the morning


I left the keys down in the caf'


I had to go to work





And when Jo was short of cash I had to give her some


But I didn't really mind cause I was fit for once


So she paid the leccy bill and got the shopping and she still had


Some for the cinema


So we all went out





She asked me "Do I need to lose a bit of weight?"


And I told her "Don't be stupid 'cause you're looking great"


And I call her String Bean Jean because the label on her jeans says


Seven to eight years old - well that's pretty small


Seven to eight years old - that's pretty small


Seven to eight years old - that's pretty small


Seven to eight years old
