Butterbean Lyrics - B-52s

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) 

(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 

Pick 'em, hull 'em, put on the steam 

That's how we fix butterbeans 

(Fix 'em hot hot hot) 

(Yeah, make 'em jump outta the pot) 

Fix 'em for me now
