Bean Countin’ Blues
Music & Lyrics by Rough Sketches
I was sitting at my desk the other day
Saw the General Ledger in red.
I was sitting at my desk today
G’ Ledger in red
And with a pencil in my hand
And a woman on my mind
Ain’t got no cash flow
But I know the check’s in the mail
Oh, we ain’t got no cash flow
Yet I know the check’s in the mail
I got more beans than I can handle
And a woman on my mind
I got the Bean Countin’ Blues, The Bean Countin’ Blues (shoowop, doowop)
I got the Bean Countin’ Blues, the Bean Countin’ Blues
The balance sheet’s out of balance
And the swing sheet pays the dues
Oh, the balance sheets out of balance
And the swing sheet pay the dues
Oh, just one more journal entry
Will end these Bean Countin’ Blues
I got the Bean Countin’ Blues, The Bean Countin’ Blues (shoowop, doowop)
I got the Bean Countin’ Blues, the Bean Countin’ Blues
(Instrumental, coins into a bag)
And now a word from our sponsors:
Hi all you accountants out there
Sales asking for more advertising budget
Engineering asking for more R&D money…… “We need a new computer”
And management asking for…a better
BOTTOM LINE
Another year endin’
And I’ll tryin’ to cook up the books
What do the auditors want for dinner?
Lima beans, Green Beans, Pork-n-Beans, String Beans, Beans-n-Beans
Yeh, there’s got to something better
Like a woman on my mind
I got the Bean Countin’ Blues, The Bean Countin’ Blues (shoowop, de doowop)
I got the Bean Countin’ Blues, the Bean Countin’ Blues
