Belle & Sebastian - 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 go to work And she works all night Yeah, the girl’s alright 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 lacky bill Me & jo & 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 down in the caf’ I had to catch a bus 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 we paid the lacky 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 "oh, 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 Belle & Sebastian Lyrics String Bean Jean Lyrics
