Lyrics
Once there was a girl
She was right from the sticks
Thought she'd go out to the market one day
And hey
We can sure say of the town
She was the toast
Really the most
We don't wanna boast but
The guys and lass would all surround her
Sic as sure would hound her
She worked in the marketplace
But what did she see?
Crew cut and cute with a crazy goatee
What a blend
He was the end, selling beans
Dressed in his jeans
What a buy, she was sure to cry
I got beans at a bargain little girl
Won't you step right up?
Cast your eyes upon my wares
And you will have no other cares
There'll be no other worry there
If you see the crazy pair
You'll have one layer cleaned
And cooked and ready on the table
I got them fresh the very morning from the backyard
And I picked them all myself
I hope that you would come along and buy my beans
Because what I'm trying to say is
They taste so good
They taste so very, very, very good
Take advantage of them
Bargain and buy some
We got the string beans, snap beans, lima beans
We got the very kind of beans
That I would like to put right in your pressure cooker
Pretty baby don't you see what I mean?
They are the finest beans
The coolest beans
They are the best beans that you could find
In this or any other marketplace
What are you trying to prove with all your talk of beans?
Yes, I know that they look crazy
But they're just beans
Only beans and they will have to go
Because there's something you should know
That though I think the beans are great for you
You can leave them home, my baby
'Cause they're not my favorite dish
I like greens
But I can't stand beans
And I cannot bear to have those seeds about
And I will tell you furthermore
That though they are fit for queens
I only like jelly beans
Now you understand
Just what my feelings are
Hey
Let me say
I
Am not the guy
Who's supposed to sell the beans
It's a means
To you
'Cause I knew
That I
Should be your guy
Come
Baby, let me try
Once there was a drummer
Who was straight from New York
Touring the country with Wardell Gray
And hey
We can sure say of the drums
He was the toast
Really the most
We don't wanna boast but
All the crazy chicks would sound him
All the crazy bands would hound him
Then one day he saw the one that made his head whirl
He met and married the same little girl
What a blend
They are the end, they're real cool
House with a pool
Crazy scenes, they met on beans
