No More Beans for Dora

by Ralph McTell

Oh it's lovely going camping
And sleeping in a tent
The days go by so happily
You wonder where they went
We had see and forest
And we had fields of green
But when it came to breakfast
All we had was beans (and we said)

No more beans we implore ya
Especially for Dora
Dora is our driver and our friend
No more beans we implore ya
Especially for Dora
And it's beans in my dreams 
And they're driving me round the bend

Oh it's lovely staying outside
In the good fresh air
And sitting by the camp fire
When all your friends are there
Playing by the sea side
And eating big ice creams
But when it comes to dinner time
All we had was beans (and we said)

No more beans we implore ya
Especially for Dora
Dora is our driver and our friend
No more beans we implore ya
Especially for Dora
Cos she's got beans in her dreams 
And they're driving her round the bend

Oh it's nice to have a holiday
And it's good to have a break
And after playing all the day
It's hard to stay awake
Sharing all the good times
You learn what friendship means
Sleeping in your little tent
When you've been eating beans

No more beans we implore ya
Especially for Dora
Dora is our driver and our friend
No more beans we implore ya
Especially for Dora
Cos she's got beans in her dreams 
And they're driving her round the bend
