Red Beans & Rice

Spearhead

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 nightly



because everything dat I put in/ it comes out again



and if I eat lean/ it helps me stay thin



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 my fuel is unleaded



But not fossil fuels/ I like olive oil



I like my eggs scrambled/ I 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




(chorus)



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. So nice. So nice. So nice.




Most people on the planet/ eat beans and rice



some 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



skin'll turn orange if you drink carrot juice



I think beef jerky tastes like a boot



when I'm on the street I chew a licorice root



and if I have a soar 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



food is for life / and life I will show you.



If you're havin' problems/ I invite you here
