1
I don't eat red meat but I'm not a vegetarian*
2
I like ice cream
3
But not much dairy
4
'cause it gets in my nose
5
It makes me gotta blows
6
Snot like a farmer and it gets on my clothes
7
It's rather unsightly
8
Can even be frightening
9
But cold medication
10
Should not be taken nightly
11
Because everything dat I put in
12
It comes out again
13
And if I eat lean
14
It helps me stay thin
15
Check out my hair, I keep it dreaded
16
About my corn? I like it breaded
17
Hot from the oven? MMMM! you said it!
18
Straight to the stomach my fuel is unleaded
19
But not fossil fuels
20
I like olive oil
21
I like my eggs scrambled
22
I never eat 'em boiled
23
The way to my heart
24
Is with a garlic clove
25
It smells hella sexy
26
When it's on the kitchen stove
27
[Chorus:]
28
Red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice,
29
Make everything nice
30
Red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice
31
I could eat a plate twice. So nice. So nice. So nice.
32
Most people on the planet
33
Eat beans and rice
34
Some can't afford beef or they think cows are nice
35
If you talk table manners don't believe all they
36
Told ya I eat with my fingers like an African soldier
37
I don't know which fork is for meat or for salad
38
I haven't got a clue when they say "whet your palate"
39
Eat a lot a prunes it'll keep you loose
40
Skin'll turn orange if you drink carrot juice
41
I think beef jerky tastes like a boot
42
When I'm on the street I chew a licorice root
43
And if I have a soar throat
44
then I eat ginger
45
And I will break bread
46
with those who are strangers
47
So come into my cave
48
Tonight I will show you
49
Food is for life
50
And life I will show you.
51
If you're havin' problems
52
I invite you here
53
Step into my kitchen
54
we will cook away your fears
55
[Repeat Chorus:]
56
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that
57
Saved a wretch like me
58
Dammit let's eat!
59
Mi casa es su casa. Mi cocina es su cocina.
60
You know what I meana!
61
[Bridge]
62
Get some boilin' water! Yeah!
63
Get a pound aof beans! Yeah!
64
Get some spice and make it nice! Yeah!
65
You know what I mean!
66
But if a friend has gas
67
then he's passin'
68
It gives me a headache end I gotta take aspirin
69
It makes me dizzy
70
I fix him fizzies
71
To calm his stomach
72
When it's feelin kinda
73
Busy some like it white
74
but I like it brown
75
I like spicy chicken
76
And I can throw it down
77
Chilis come red
78
and chilis come green
79
When it's on the table
80
I lick my plate clean
81
Then I drink a toast to the host and hostess
82
But first we give thanks
83
To God the Mostest
84
'cause if I am a guest
85
I always wash my plate
86
Sip a sip a soda while I sing Amazing Grace
87
Rings on my fingers
88
left round the tub
89
Bass fulla bubbles
90
Bumpin like a wash tub
91
Think about my troubles
92
Goin down the drain
93
Dryin' up the puddles in the back of my brain
94
But...
