Once there was a girl and she was right from the sticks
Thought she'd go out to the market one day
And hey, we can sure say of the town
She was the toast, really the most
We don't wanna boast but
Scads of lads would all surround her
City's sickest sure went down to her
She walked in the marketplace and what did she see
Crew cut and cute with a crazy goatee, what a blend
He was the end, sellin' beans, dressed in his jeans, what a buy
She was heard to cry, "I got beans at a bargain"
Little girl, won't you step right up
Cast your eyes upon me where you will have no other care
There'll be no other worry there
If you see the crazy pair
You'll have one made clean and cooked
They're crazy on the table
I got 'em fresh this very mornin' from the backyard
And I picked 'em all myself
I hope that you will come along and buy my beans
Because what I'm tryin' to say is
They taste so good
They taste so very, very, very good
Take advantage of the bargain, come in and buy some
We got string beans, snap beans, lima beans
We got the very kind of beans
That I would like to put right in your fresh cook
Pretty baby, don't you see what I mean
They're the finest beans, coolest beans
They're the best beans that you could find
In this or any other marketplace
What are you tryin' to prove with all your talk of beans
Yes, I know that they look crazy
But they're just beans, only beans
And they will have to go
Because there's somethin' you should know
That though I think that beans are great
Well, you can leave 'em off my plate
Because they're not my favorite dish
Hey, let me say
I am not the guy
Suppose I sell beans
It's a means to you
'Cause I knew
That I should be your guy
Come, baby, let me try
Once there was a drummer straight from New York
Tourin' the country with Wardell Gray
And hey, we can sure say of the drums
He was the toast, really the most
We don't wanna boast but
All the crazy chicks went down to him
All the crazy bands went down to him
Then one day he met the one that made his head whirl
He met and married the same little girl, what a blend
They're the end, they're real cool, house with a pool
Crazy scenes blendin' on the beans
