B-52's, The - Butterbean Lyrics
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?
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
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

B-52's, The Butterbean Comments
Weird Al Mr. Popeil? Hmm....
love the b-52s but this song, not so much.
i came here from pinkietoons wbu
Butterbeam !
How could anyone not LOVE this tune?
It’s but just a funny song, it’s a New Wave masterpiece.
Pardon me Sir, would you have any butter beans?
Which was first - this or Walk Like An Egyptian?
... and for afters try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSxxmAK6iYg
I'm afraid that other than Rock Lobster and Love Shack, the songs in which Fred is the main singer pretty much suck.
_I'm afraid you're right. Some songs should have been thrown in the trash can._
oh so so wrong, my friend...
I came from the PBS KIDS GO bumper.
Reminds me of the song performed by Jim Carrol in the movie Tuff Turf the dancing scene
interesting comparison. Both those guys were poets before they started singing
God damn Lima Beans
Pick em, Hull "em, Put on the steam....That's how we like Butterbeans !
ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS since I changed my diet to WFPB (90% vegan).
This is from "my era" and I saw 'em live in Nashville promoting this album. Always loved the song, and now even more.
How can you be 90% vegan and what the fuck is WFPB?
How is this not butterbean's theme song
I don't think its actually about butterbeans.
text is too slow but Ithanks for posting, love me some b52s
They are from Heaven.
With a sense of humor!
Wow. They are so good. OMG...
wonder if they really like butterbeans
Who doesn't?
I find it absolutely hilarious how the lyrics seem to die 3 minutes in, with the weird flatline connected to the letter "y". Like the teleprompter had a heart attack or something. lololol. No idea why that's so funny. Guess I've had a few too many butter beans.
The lyrics ain't what this tune is about..
+Dennisdread -ok what is it really about then?
hahahaha!!! This comment made my night!!! Maybe it's a lot of working mixed with uni full time, or the fact that it was actually funny!!! I like the way your brain works
The B-52's are just messing around; sense of humor keep it!
Thx for that! Hilarious and didn’t notice until u pointed it out. Only noticed that the teleprompter couldn’t seem to keep up and was probably on it’s last legs!
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

Best B52's song I've heard so far. Love it.
It's my absolute favorite of theirs
The epitome of quirky.
YES! VERY TRUE!! I LAUGH, LOL xDxD very funny
FUNNY SONG
@MrJaviermontalvo nah, en los ochentas su sonido cambia de una manera muy radical, haciéndose más pop, sólo me gustan sus cuatro primeros albumes, the b-52´s, wild palnet, mesopotamia y whammy!. su sonido en esos discos si era del estilo dance punk, bien combinado con su estilo kitsch
THE B-52´S......EXCELENTE PUNK DE LOS 80´S.......ATT OCHENTERO LDU FROM ECUADOR
Javier Montalvo no punk its new wave
Es go go, punk y demas yerbas....
