Beans Taste Fine
Beans Taste Fine
(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."
