Larry Walsh - Red Beans & Rice lyrics

Artist: Spearhead Album: Home Song: Red Beans & Rice 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 s**y/ 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 Step into my kitchen /we will cook away your fears (chorus) Amazing grace how sweet the sound that Saved a wretch like me Dammit let's eat! Mi casa es su casa. Mi cocina es su cocina You know what I meana! (bridge) Get some boilin' water! Yeah! Get a pound aof beans! Yeah! Get some spice and make it nice! Yeah! You know what I mean! But if a friend has gas /then he's pa**in' It gives me a headache end I gotta take aspirin It makes me dizzy/ I fix him fizzies To calm his stomach/ when it's feelin kinda Busy some like it white/but I like it brown I like spicy chicken/ and I can throw it down Chilis come red /and chilis come green When it's on the table/ I lick my plate clean Then I drink a toast to the host and hostess But first we give thanks/ to God the Mostest 'cause if I am a guest/ I always wash my plate Sip a sip a soda while I sing Amazing Grace Rings on my fingers /left round the tub Ba** fulla bubbles/ bumpin like a wash tub Think about my troubles/ goin down the drain Dryin' up the puddles in the back of my brain But... (chorus) (bridge)
