Je score:

(Shel Silverstein)

Now a friend of mine, way back in Chicago
You know, he finally made his pile.
Well he got himself a mansion on Butler and Sheff
An' hHe was livin' in the latest style;
     But I run into him, he was eatin' in a greasy spoon
     While parkled in front was his big limousine.
     I said, "Buddy, you've got so much money
     How come youre in here, eatin beans?"
     An' he said

     After you've been havin' steak for a long time
     Beans, beans taste fine.
     An' after you've been drinkin' champagne and brandy
     You gonna settle for wine.
     He said "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."

Now, you know 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 still a very young man
     So sit down. I'll explain it all to you.
     He said,

     After you've been havin' steak for a long time
     Beans, beans taste fine.
     An' after you've been drinkin' champagne and Chivas Regal
     You gonna settle for Thunderbird wine.
     He said "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."
