Butterbean

[Verse 1: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson, All]

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

[Pre-Chrous: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]

Pass me a plateful, I'll be grateful

One, two, three, four (One, two, three, four!)

[Chorus: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]

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

That's how we fix butterbeans

(Fix 'em hot, hot, hot)

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

That's how we fix butterbeans

(Hot, hot, hot, hot)

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

That's how we fix butterbeans

(Yeah, make 'em jump outta the pot)

[Bridge: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]

Come here you little butterbean, you. Come on!

Butterbean-butterbean

Butterbean-butterbean

Butterbean-butterbean

Butterbean-butterbean

[Verse 2: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson, All]

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chrous: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]

Pass me a plateful, I'll be grateful

One, two, three, four (One, two, three, four!)

[Chorus: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]

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

That's how we fix butterbeans

(Fix 'em hot, hot, hot)

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

That's how we fix butterbeans

(Yeah, make 'em jump outta the pot)

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

That's how we fix butterbeans

(Fix 'em for me now, fix 'em for me now)
