B-52`s The Butterbean Lyrics

Butterbean Lyrics

Yeah, if you go down to athens, g-a

 And you're driving in your car

 You won't get very far before

 You hear people shoutin' out!

 What's that?

 Butterbean! yeah!

 Gramps and grannies

 Kids in their teens

 Junkyard dogs and campus queens

 Yeah, everybody likes butterbeans

 

 Don't you wait, don't you linger

 Butterbean don't slip through my fingers

 

 Pass me plate full, i'll be grateful

 1-2-3-4

 Pick 'em, hull 'em, put on the steam

 That's how we fix butterbeans

 (fix 'em hot hot hot)

 (yeah, make 'em jump outta the pot)

 

 Come here you little butterbean you come on!

 Butterbean-butterbean

 Butterbean-butterbean

 Butterbean-butterbean

 Butterbean-butterbean

 Butterbean grows on the vine

 

 Some people are fat, some people are lean

 But i want you to show me the person

 Who doesn't like butterbeans

 Yay!

 

 Well, you can have your yams

 You can have your collard greens

 But if you want to please little ol' me

 You better fix butterbeans

 

 Don't you wait, don't you linger

 Butterbean don't slip through my fingers

 

 Pick 'em, hull 'em, put on the steam

 That's how we fix butterbeans

 (fix 'em hot hot hot)

 (yeah, make 'em jump outta the pot)

 Fix 'em for me now
