Analysis of Jelly Bean

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)



Presented himself as a dandy
Chasing flappers at bars he was carousing
Guy fancied himself sweet as candy
Unintentional confection connection is just confusing

Mister Bean didn't represent best haberdashery
Some say he dressed a bit tacky
Funeral time you suit up properly
Jelly Bean lied in basket coffin looking flashy
