Jelly, Bean

Jellybean People from Lollipop Land
Had candy cane feet and lemon drop hands
Licorice bow ties, chocolate shoes
Hats of bubble gum chew

Call out the Jellies, away with the Troops
"Ten to a row, columns by two!"
Bows, arrows, and peppermint flutes
Cinnamon swords, and gingerbread boots

"Away to Jollybean Land", they cried
"They're always so happy, so what do they hide?
Must have a treasure, a Grape Jelly Mine
That's why they're happy most all of the time"

Jollybean People were caught by surprise
Jellybean Army came swarming like flies
Into the streets of Jollybean Land
Into the Jollybean Band!

"Join in our parade," they sang,
"Jellies are welcomed in Jollybean Land
Give us your sweet little lemon drop hands
And candy cane feet into dance"

The Jellybean King said, "Aim for their toes
Load up your arrows, pull back your bows"
But Jollybean People just pulled up their feet
Rolled over and under and down the street
Onto the shores of Jollybean Lake
In banana split boats they made their escape

The Jellybean Army swam after them too
"Ten to a row, columns by two!"
Melt candy cane feet, bubble gum chew
Licorice bow ties, chocolate shoes
Arrows and bows, peppermint flutes
Cinnamon swords and gingerbread boots
Turning the water in Jollybean Lake
Into marmalade jam and gingerbread cake

Jollybean People on Jollybean Lake
Ate marmalade jam and gingerbread cake
Year after year they would all celebrate
The Jolly Great Jellybean War!
The Jolly Great Jellybean War!

*bows down before the great Jelly bean king*

You rule. No doubt about it. The unhealthy obsession I have with these lollies probably has something to do with it.

Great piece. I'll try and not lick the screen. Hmm..can you tell I've had too much sugar??
