about

The first industrially mass produced piece of confectionary in the world. created by William Schraftt as a war winning, moral boosting weapon in the American Civil war

lyrics

Jelly Bean

Soft and sweet
Small and neat
The best little friend you’ll ever meet
Good old William Shrafft using sugar, starch and corn
Made u a secret weapon for the civil war

Got to have you
Make you mine
I must admit I think of you all the time
The Chicago daily news
Finally put you on their front page
My little friend you’ve finally come of age

Red blue and green
Every colour combination you have seen
You keep on popping up
Candy in my cup
Jelly Bean
Jelly Bean

Cute and curvy
Loud and rude
Ice cream soda pop
That Tastes so good

The good old USA they loved you so much
They even gave you your own national day

Vanila, coconut and cream
Every flavour combination you have seen
I got the jelly belly roll
It’s playing with my soul

Jelly Bean
