Beans Taste Fine - The Brothers Four (四兄弟)

Lyricist：Shel Silverstein

Composer：Shel Silverstein

Now friend of mine out Chicago

He finally made his pile

He got himself a mansion on Butler and Sheff

He was livin' in the latest style

But I run into him

In a greasy spoon

While parkled in front was his big limousine

I said Buddy you've got so much money

How come you're in here eatin beans

He said

After you've been havin'

After you've been havin' steak for a long time

Beans beans taste fine

An' after you've been drinkin'

An' after you've been drinkin' champagne and brandy

You gonna settle for wine

Sattle for wine

Now the world is funny and people are strange

And man is a creature of constant change and

After you've been havin' steak for a long time

Beans beans taste fine

Beans

Beans

Beans

Beans

Beans

Beans

Beans beans taste fine

Well I ran into another friend of mine

In a rowdy old Clark street bar

I said friend is it true what I heard about you

I heard you married a beautiful 18 year old shapely movie star

Yet here you sit tryin' to make out with some barfly

Who's too old and ugly to be true

He said shelley you're a very young man

So sit down I'll explain it all to you

He said

After you've been havin'

After you've been havin' steak for a long time

Beans beans taste fine

An' after you've been drinkin'

An' after you've been drinkin' champagne and Chivas Regal

You come back take and wine

Thunderbird wine

Now the world is funny and people are strange

And man is a creature of constant change and

After you've been havin' steak for a long time

Beans beans taste fine

Beans beans taste fine

And here them beans
