Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

Jelly Beans

well, he's a space orphan from Long Store 6

Left to rot on Cyborg 9

He was trying to find his way to Planet X

But stepped on a land mine

He only lost his third leg

But he'd never beg or put anybody down

And behind the great walls of China

Underneath the galaxies

He had a studio

And he wrote this song

Oh Daddy don't you know

I'm gonna get some soda pop

Oh Daddy don't you know

I'm gonna have some candy bop

Candy bars, ice cream sodas and licorice

And jelly beans and ice cream and soda pop

Yeh she-wop-bop-bop-she-wop-bop-bop

Singing all day singing all night

Nothing makes me fright

Looking for a game to play

Ain't gonna play any other way
