In the Land of Eeenie
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 so!
They were 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.

Oh! you lank and leany 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 green,
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 leanie Chili Beanie,
we'll have lots of eenie meenies,
we'll feed them all on weenies,
eenie minie mo."

Oh! you lank and leany Chili Beanie

Now this girl called Chili
had a lot of dough, Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
she loved it so
but she was so silly,
said she let the fellows know,
she let them know
that she had do re mi fa so!
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."

Oh! you lank and leany 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.

what you want I do not know."
They said: "Now listen Chili, dear,
