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! [This message has been edited by Jellybean King (edited 03-09-2001).] |

*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?? *bounces off the walls* ~AF~ Stupidity killed the cat. Curiosity was framed. |
