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 'n' swell 'n' 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
