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
