BEANS TASTE FINE
(Shel Silverstein)
C E7
Now a friend of mine, way back in Chicago
F G C G
You know, he finally made his pile.
C E7
Well he got himself a mansion a butler and a chef
F G C G
An' he was livin' in the latest style;
C E7
But I run into him, he was eatin' in a greasy spoon
F Fm
While parked outside was his big limousine.
C E7
I said, "Buddy, you've got so much money
F G C
How come youre in here, eatin beans?"
G
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 down town back Street Bar,
I said, "buddy, is it true what they say 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."
