String Bean Jean

String Bean Jean - Belle & Sebastian

I got my fingers dirty at the school of rock

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 its time to work

And she works all night

Cause the girls all right

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

And it's like a holiday whenever you go 'round

We always have a laugh

And then we all get in the bath

To save on the electric bill

Me and Jo and Phil

I had to leave them in the morning

I left the keys around the way

I had to go to work

I had to leave them in the morning

I left the keys my down in the caf'

I had to catch a bus

Jo was short of cash I had to give her some

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

So we paid the electric bill and got the shopping

And we 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 said girl don't be stupid 'cause you're looking great

And I call her String Ban 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

I had to leave them in the morning

I left the keys around the way

I had to go to work

I had to leave them in the morning

I left the keys down in the caf'

I had to catch a bus
