Verse 1
I (D major) (G major) don't (D major) eat red meat
But I'm not a veget (G major) arian
I (D major) like ice cream, (G major) but not much (D major) dairy
Cause it gets in my nose,
it (B flataug) makes me (D major) gotta blows
(G major) Not (D major) like a farmer,
and it gets up on my clothes
It's rather unsightly,
can even be frightening
But cold medication,
it should not be taken lightly
Because everything that I put in,
it (G major) comes out (D major) again
(G major) And (D major) if I'm eating lean,
it helps me (G major) stay thin
(D major) So check out my hair, I keep it (G major) planted
(D major) About (D minor) (D major) my corn, I like it breaded
(G major) Hot (D major) from the oven, mmm, you said (G major) it
Straight (D major) to the stomach,
cause my food is unleaded
But not fries or fruits, I like olive (G major) oil
I (D major) like my eggs scrambled
and I never eat them boiled
The (D minor) way to (D major) my heart is (G major) with a garlic clove
It smells hella sexy
when (E major) it's on the kitchen stove, (D major) but
Red beans and (B flataug) rice,
red (D major) beans and (D minor) rice,
red beans (D major) and rice
I could eat a (G major) plate twice
Red beans (D major) and rice, red beans an (G major) d rice,
red (D major) beans and rice
Make everything nice (G major) (D major)
(G major) So nice (D major)
So (G major) nice, so (D minor) (D major) (G major) nice, (D major) so nice
(G major) Well, yes, (D major) most people on the planet
eat (G major) beans (D major) and rice
They can't afford beef
or (G major) they think cows (D major) are nice
If you talk table manners,
don't believe all they told you
I eat with (G major) my fingers like an African (D major) soldier
I don't know which fork
is for meat or for salad
I haven't got a clue
when they say wet your palate
Eat a lot of prunes, it'll keep you loose
Your skin'll turn orange
if you drink carrot (G major) juice.
I (D major) think beef jerky
tastes just like a booger.
(G major) But (D major) when I'm on the street,
I chew a liquorice (G major) root.
And (D major) if I have a sore throat,
then I eat ginger.
And I will break bread
with those who are strangers.
So come into my cave,
and I will show you.
The food is for life,
and life I will show you.
If you're having problems,
I invite you here.
Step into (G major) my kitchen,
(D major) we will cook away your fears.
But red beans and rice,
red beans and rice,
(G major) red (D major) beans and rice.
I could eat a (G major) plate twice
Red (D minor) beans (D major) and rice
Make everything (G major) nice (D major) (D minor)
(D major) So (G major) nice (D major)
(G major) So nice (D minor)
(D major) So (G major) nice
Amazing (D major) ways
How to be versatile (G major)
I know how to (D major) save the rent like me, (G major)
damn it
(D major) Let's eat
Yeah, mi casa es su casa
Mi cocina es su cocina
You know what I mean?
Get some bottled wa (G major) ter, (D major) yeah!
Get up and dance! (E major) (G major)
(D major) Some spice that'll (G major) make you (D major) dance
You know what I mean? (Eaug) (E major)
(G major) But (D major) if a friend has gas,
then he's passin'
It gives me a headache
and I gotta take aspirin
It makes me dizzy, I fix him fizzies
To calm his stomach
when it's feelin' kinda busy
But some like it white, but (G major) I like (D major) it brown
(G major) I (D major) like spicy chicken and I
can throw it down
Where chillies come red
and chillies come green
And when it's on the table
I will (G major) lick my (D major) plate clean
But (G major) (D major) then I drink a toast
to the host and hostess
(G major) But (D major) first we give thanks to
God (G major) the mostest
Cause (D major) if I am a guest,
I (G major) always (D major) wash my (G major) plate
I (D major) sip a sip of soda
while I sing amazing grace
Rings on my fingers, left round (G major) the (D major) tub
The vase full of bubbles
bumping (G major) like a (D major) wash tub
Think about my troubles,
going down the drain
Drying up the puddles
in the back of my brain
But red beans (D major) and (B flataug) rice,
red (D major) beans and (G major) rice,
red (D minor) beans and (D major) rice
I could (G major) eat a plate twice
Red (D minor) beans and rice,
(D major) red beans an (G major) d rice,
(D major) red beans and rice
Make (D minor) everything nice
Red (D minor) beans (D major) and rice,
red beans and rice, (G major)
red beans and rice
I could (D major) eat a plate twice
(G major) Red beans and (D major) rice,
red beans and rice,
red beans and rice
Make everything nice
Get some (D major) bottled water, yeah
Get (D major) out that beer, yeah
It's the only (D major) spice that'll (E major) make it nice.
You (D major) know what I mean. (E major)
Babies and rice.
