Belle Sebastian String Bean Jean Lyrics

String Bean Jean Lyrics

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
