a very new song by Phyl Lobl, written at 5am this morning which makes it a bit over 15 hours old.

Phyl has been singing Pete Seeger's 1966 version about LBJ for decades, video here, along with Len Chandler's original words (1964)


BEANS IN MY EARS, SLOMO’S VERSION by Phyl Lobl

Jenny says not to put beans in my ears, beans in my ears, beans in my ears,
Jenny says not to put beans in my ears, beans in my ears.

Why would I want to put beans in my ears, beans in my ears, beans in my ears?
Why would I want to put beans in my ears, beans in my ears?

Y’can’t hear the women with beans in your ears, beans in your ears, beans in your ears,
Y’can’t hear the women with beans in your ears, beans in your ears.

So y’can’t hear the words like NO & ENOUGH, NO & ENOUGH, NO & ENOUGH,
Y’can’t hear the words like NO & ENOUGH with beans in your ears.
Hey, Marise look at me, I've got beans in my ears beans in my ears, beans in my ears,
Hey, Marise look at me, I've got beans in my ears, beans in my ears.

What's that you say? I've got beans in my ears beans in my ears, beans in my ears,
What's that you say? I've got beans in my ears, beans in my ears

Yes too many Pollies have beans in their ears, beans in their ears, beans in their ears,
Yes too many Pollies have beans in their ears, beans in their ears.
