LIS 019-Eileen The Jellybean Queen

“Life In Song” #19: Eileen The Jellybean Queen is really more of a “ditty” than a song. It started when this girl Eileen who was eating jellybeans at a party. I came up with the phrase Eileen the Jellybean Queen and then just created a fictitious, exaggerated character around the phrase. Disclaimer: this song is in no way about any real person living or dead. If you have issues with eating or your weight please do not take this song personally. It’s just a dumb song with a lot of fun rhymes. This is one song I would prefer if you DID NOT share with anyone. I’ve just recorded it for “historical” purposes and it is the only time I’ve ever recorded this. Thanks for understanding.

PLEASE! Use headphones or decent speakers to listen to this instead of your tinny little computer speakers. It’s recorded in crystal clear digital sound and the headphones really make a difference!

I decided not to allow this song to be downloaded…I mostly wanted to preserve it but I’m a bit concerned about it being misunderstood. Sorry about that. I hope you understand.

Lyrics:

Eileen the Jellybean Queen | April 1978 | Song # 19

Refrain:
Eileen the jellybean queen
She’s a regular old fashioned eating machine
She weighs in at seven hundred and seventeen

She isn’t pretty
And that’s a pity
Because she isn’t witty
In the least sense of the word
She isn’t gorgeous
She’ll get you bored just
With one or more gust
Of hot air from her mouth

Refrain:

And every year she
Says to her deary
“I’m very weary
Of the winters we have ‘round here”
He tries t explain
Without too much pain about
The size of the plane
They’d need to carry her towards the south

Refrain:

Zoopa Doobah
Zoopa Doobah etc.

Refrain:

Tuning: Standard

Some reviews & testimonials

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy

Love the “Key To Your Cage” album…

Love the “Key To Your Cage” album. I hear so many different influences and styles woven throughout the songs, really keeps it interesting from start to finish!

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.
