In the land of eenie meenie minie mo
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! not long ago
Lived a girl called Chili, and the fellows loved her so
They loved her so
They loved her do re me fa sol
They wer a lot of little profiteers who came from near and far
They loved the um ta da
She played on her guitar
Ev'ry night in the pale moonlight they gathered 'neath the stars
And as they formed a ring, they all began to sing:
Now this girl called Chili had a lot of dough
Oh! oh! oh! oh! she loved it so
But she was so silly, and she let the fellows know
She let them know
That she had do re me fa sol
When all the little profiteers found out they went to Chili Bean
They said 'From what we've seen
You'd make a dandy queen'
Chili said 'You can go ahead, when do I reign supreme?'
They said 'For what you've got, we'll crown you on the spot
CHORUS:
Oh! you lank and lean-y Chili Beanie eenie minie mo
You know we love you so
We love your ja da, um ta da da
Our lives won't be so dreamy if you let us go
You think we're full of blarney
We're full of chili con carne
Chili Bean said 'Boys, I'm grown, I don't know what you mean
You know that I'm so slow
What you want I do not know'
They said 'Now listen Chili dear
Oh by jingo! sent us here
You lank and lean-y Chili beanie
We'll have lots of eenie, meenies
We'll feed them all on weenies, eenie minie mo
