There's a guy who lives in our block..his name is Kelly Carr.
Each night he comes down the street, packin' his guitar.
Stops at Jelly Bean's house, that pretty little thing..
bows his head he bends his knees, you oughta hear him sing.

D MajorD
Jelly Bean comes to the window..she listens for a while.
Never even blinks her eyes, or offers him a smile.
She tosses up her pretty curls and as she turns to go..
he stomps his guitar one more time and sings his tale of woe.
