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?

Buterbean! 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
