Red Beans & Rice

歌詞

I don't eat red meat but I'm not a vegetarian I like ice cream but not much dairy 'Cause it gets in my nose, it makes me gotta blows Snot like a farmer and it gets on my clothes It's rather unsightly, can even be frightening But cold medication should not be taken lightly Because everything that I put in, it comes out again And if I eatin' lean it helps me stay thin So check out my hair, I keep it dreaded About my corn, I like it breaded Hot from the oven, mmmm, you said it Straight to the stomach, 'cause my fuel is unleaded But not fossil fuels, I like olive oil I like my eggs scrambled and I'll never eat 'em boiled The way to my heart is with a garlic clove It smells hella sexy when it's on the kitchen stove But, red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice I could eat a plate twice Red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice Make everything nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice Well, yes, most people on the planet eat beans and rice They can't afford beef or they think cows are nice If you talk table manners, don't believe all they told ya I eat with my fingers like an African soldier I don't know which fork is for meat or for salad I haven't got a clue when they say, whet your palate Eat a lot a prunes, it'll keep you loose Your skin'll turn orange if you drink carrot juice I think beef jerky tastes, just like a boot When I'm on the street I chew a licorice root And if I have a sore throat then I eat ginger And I will break bread with those who are strangers So come into my cave, tonight I will show you That food is for life and life I will show you If you're havin' problems, I invite you here Step into my kitchen, we will cook away your fears But, red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice I could eat a plate twice Red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice Make everything nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me Dammit let's eat! Mi casa es su casa Mi cocina es su cocina You know what I mean Get some boilin' water, yeah Get a pound of beans, yeah Get some spice and make it nice, yeah You know what I mean But if a friend has gas, then he's passin' It gives me a headache and I gotta take Aspirin It makes me dizzy, I fix him fizzies To calm his stomach when it's feelin' kinda busy But some like it white, but I like it brown I like spicy chicken and I can throw it down Well chilies come red and chilies come green And when it's on the table, I will lick my plate clean But then I drink a toast to the host and hostess But first we give thanks to God the mostest 'Cause if I am a guest, I always wash my plate I sip a, sip a soda, while I sing Amazing Grace Rings on my fingers, left round the tub The bass fulla bubbles, bumpin' like a wash tub Think about my troubles goin' down the drain Dryin' up the puddles in the back of my brain But, red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice I could eat a plate twice Red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice Make everything nice Red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice I could eat a plate twice Red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice Make everything nice Get some boilin' water, yeah Get a pound of beans, yeah Get some spice and make it nice, yeah You know what I mean Red beans and rice
