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 
 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)
