Starshine Singers - Three Measly Beans Lyrics

Beans? Beans? Three measly
beans? There may have been worse
crimes, but these are difficult times.
Beans? How could you be so foolish?

How could you be so foolish?
How could you be so dim?
You gave away poor Daisy.
What a crazy whim!
Where’s the money, Jack?
You shouldn’t have come back with
Beans, beans, three measly beans.
There may have been worse crimes
But these are difficult times.
Beans, beans, beans…
How could you be so stupid?

I think I should head for the hills.
Our cupboard is bare
And it seems we don’t have a prayer.
Beans won’t pay the bills!

How could you be so stupid?
How could you be so rash?
Cos now you can’t go shopping.
Should have got some cash!
Where’s the money, Jack?
You shouldn’t have come back with
Beans, beans, three measly beans.
There may have been worse crimes
But these are difficult times.
Beans, beans, beans…
