Lyrics
Yeah, if you go down to Athens, G-A
And you're driving in your car
You won't get very far before
You hear people shoutin' out!
What's that?
Butterbean! Yeah!
Gramps and grannies
Kids in their teens
Junkyard dogs and campus queens
Yeah, everybody likes butterbeans
Don't you wait, don't you linger
Butterbean don't slip through my fingers
Pass me plate full, I'll be grateful
1-2-3-4
Pick 'em, hull 'em, put on the steam
That's how we fix butterbeans
(Fix 'em hot hot hot)
Pick 'em, hull 'em, put on the steam
That's how we fix butterbeans
(Hot, hot, hot)
Pick 'em, hull 'em, put on the steam
That's how we fix butterbeans
(Yeah, make 'em jump outta the pot)
Come here you little butterbean you come on!
Butterbean-butterbean
Butterbean-butterbean
Butterbean-butterbean
Butterbean-butterbean
Butterbean grows on the vine
Some people are fat, some people are lean
But I want you to show me the person
Who doesn't like butterbeans
Yay!
Well, you can have your yams
You can have your collard greens
But if you want to please little ol' me
You better fix butterbeans
Don't you wait, don't you linger
Butterbean don't slip through my fingers
Pass me a plate full, I'll be grateful
1-2-3-4
Pick 'em, hull 'em, put on the steam
That's how we fix butterbeans
(Fix 'em hot hot hot)
Pick 'em, hull 'em, put on the steam
That's how we fix butterbeans
(Yeah, make 'em jump outta the pot)
Pick 'em, hull 'em, put on the steam
That's how we fix butterbeans
(Fix 'em for me now, fix 'em for me now!)
