about

Be the Robert Bean
You Want to See in the World
Copyright 2021 by Mary C Crowell and Misty Granade
This song uses the Soulwriters the theme prompt Folklore. Misty and I have kind of created a folklore around the idea that there are two fantastic artists named Robert Bean in the south (Alabama and Arkansas). A little internet searching showed us there are many more Robert Beans living their best creative lives.

Chorus:
E F#7 A E
Be the Robert Bean you want to see in the world.
E F#7 A E
Be the Robert Bean you want to see in the world.
E D7 A E
You may be drawing comics. You may be painting myth.
E B7 A E
It may be photos, fonts and wires or words you’re working with.
E F#7 A E
Create and color gladly. See our artist flags unfurled.
E F#7 A E
Be the Robert Bean you want to see in the world.

C#m A7
There was a Robert Bean musician
C#m F#7
It says he played guitar.
C#m G#7
I found a trumpet-playing Bob
E G#7
So many ‘Beans’ there are.
C#m A7
There’s a Robert Bean in acting
C#m F#7
Appeared in “The Runaway.”
C#m G#7
Got two Roberts in the South
E B7
In states that start with ‘A.’

Chorus


Chorus

C#m A7
Some Robert Beans do podcasts
C#m F#7
Some Robert Beans write shows/
C#m G#7
When it comes to being Robert Bean
E G#7
Let’s face it anything goes.
C#m A7
They should have some conventions
C#m F#7
For Bean fans to attend.
C#m G#7
And if you’re really lucky
E B7
You’re assigned one at the end.

Chorus

C#m A7
Is Robert Bean the answer?
C#m F#7
Are they like Forty-two
C#m G#7
Sometimes you have to ask yourself
E G#7
“Now what would Robert do?”
C#m A7
Some would say “Bob’s not for me.”
C#m F#7
Don’t ask about finance. (In Australia)
C#m G#7
But if they like advertisements
E B7
Give Robert Bean a chance.

Bridge:
E [held]
Although your choices can’t be forced.
A [held]
You’d want your Robert locally sourced.
C#m [held]
But here’s where the world is not unfair.
B7 [held]
It look like they are everywhere.
