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
 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 passin'
 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
 bass 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)
