String Bean Jean – Dan Andriano In The Emergency Room (originally by Belle and Sebastian)

I got my fingers dirty at the school of rock I got my fingers dirty, so I took a walk I went up to the country park And hung around till after dark And the girls got home Till the girls got home
Did I tell you about 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 a holiday whenever you go round We always have a laugh And then we all get in the bath To save on the electric bill Me and Jo and 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 my down in the caf’ I had to catch a bus
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 electric 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: “Girl, 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
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 my down in the caf’ I had to catch a bus
