Beans, beans

five days old.

Beans, beans

gross and cold.

And most probably

filled with mold.

And up goes the snout!

She doesn't want to touch them

as she throws them out.


But somewhere, somewhere

far away

a little boy

can't stop to play.

He works hard,

works hard all day

for barely any,

any pay.


But he dreams of somewhere,

somewhere he is told -

where there is ice,

and water is cold -

and if he may -

(may be so bold)

he dreams of beans...

beans five days old.
