Did You Mean Jelly Bean - Joe Clay

Did You Mean Jelly Bean

Joe Clay

(Nick Smith, VIK Unissued, 1956)

When I argue with my baby
It wasn't much the way it seems
When I argue with my baby
It wasn't much the way it seems
I said I kissed another baby
But it was only in my dreams

Did you mean Jelly Bean?
Yeah, what you said Cabbage Head
Did you mean Jelly Bean?
What you said Cabbage Head
If I thought it wasn't true
You know I'd hit you in the head

I said, forgive me pretty baby
Just this time, and if you do
Yeah, forgive me pretty baby
Now this time, and if you do
Next time I have another dream
It will be a dream of you
(Ah, go now, go!)

I said, I love you lovey-dovey
From the bottom of my heart
I said, I love you lovey-dovey
From the bottom of my heart
Next time I'm gonna kiss you
Just when the dream's about to start

Did you mean Jelly Bean?
Yeah, what you said Cabbage Head
Did you mean Jelly Bean?
What you said Cabbage Head
If I thought it wasn't true
Know I'd hit you in the head

Did you mean Jelly Bean?
Yeah, what you said Cabbage Head
Did you mean Jelly Bean?
What you said Cabbage Head
Did you mean Jelly Bean?
What you said Cabbage Head
[Fade]
