Baked Beans & Egg

Macka B

[Intro]
Too much bean, bean, bea-bean, egg
Too much bean, bean, bea-bean, egg

[Verse 1]
Some Black people
Nuh put no
Good food inna dem structure
Dem a-eat the same thing for
Dem breakfast, lunch, and dinner
From January
Right through to December
What am I eat? Well, listen good and I-and-I will tell ya

[Chorus]
Dat the bean and egg
Bea-bean and egg
Bea-bean and egg
Between two slice a' thick-sliced bread

[Verse 2]
Me called me up a I-dren
For now we'll call him Fred
Him a' no dreadlocks
Lord, him is a comb head
He love fi ride motorcycle and moped
Dis is a true story so
Don't be misled
Well, to this white lady the man get wed
It was all right; that must be said
Well, them love one another
And they sleep in a bed
But there was a problem
For poor old Fred
Him ney ney get fat
A' get mawga instead
He didn'a look to me like
Fred nah get fed

So mi ask him if him sick
Him look like he a-go dead
With tears inna him eyes
This is what Fred said
"Macka B, me nah get the right food, yunno, dread
The dumplin' wha' she fry it coulda bust a man head
She cook a medium rare and the meat just red
She fry one chicken leg and it come in a clothes peg
When she fry di fish di fish it just tough like lead
Her idea of dessert's a pack of Ready Salted
For breakfast, lunch, and dinner with some thick-sliced bread
For the last six month, you know what she's made?"

[Chorus]
Bean and egg
Bea-bean and egg
Bea-bean and egg
Between two slice a' thick-sliced bread

[Verse 3]
"Well, can I come to yuh house for dinner?"
Sad Fred did a-beg
Me say, "Yes, Fred, yes, Fred, you are invited
"Come Saturday evening; you will be expected
"And nuh worry! You nah get no bean and egg"

Fred ride up on mi yard
Upon him moped
He look up on di table
Di table was spread
With saltfish and ackee
And some hard dough bread
Carrot juice, ice cream
The table look dread

When Fred see the food
Him eye get red
Lick he lips, rub him hand
Feeling excited
Nyam di food half clean
[?] it was [?]

And out him belly come
Because it was well-fed
Mi said to Fred
"You now stuffed with chocolate and nutmeg"
Him said, "[?] haffi butter di bread"

[Chorus]
Fi di bean and egg
A-fi di bean and egg
A-fi di bean and egg
Between two slice a' thick-sliced bread

[Bridge]
Too much bean, bean, bea-bean, egg
Too much bean, bean, bea-bean, egg
Too much bean, bean, bea-bean, egg
Too much bean, bean, bea-bean, egg

[Verse 4]
It may upset [?]
'Cause I know what you're thinkin'
Who's Macka B to say what or what not we should be eatin'?
Well, me nuh tell yuh what fi eat
Me just a-give a warnin'
Healthy food means healthy body
Healthy mind and healthy thinkin'
Vary up your eatin' and nuh eat too much a' one ting
Too much egg gives you cholesterol
Your heart it starts attacking
Too much bean full up your belly with wind
At night you will be windin'
When people come to yard at night
Di whole place will be stinkin'
True laziness and true [?] make it nyam so often
So try man make good food
And the rewards you will be reapin'
Fast food will stop your hunger
But it will not keep you goin'
Nuff fruit and veg, a skinny doctor helps with longer living
I got to done this lyric now 'cause my belly is rumblin'
I can smell my rice and peas just waiting in the kitchen
But before I done I would just like to tell you somethin'
True, shredded wheat is easy
Have you tried big fat dumplin'?
Delicious, man

[Outro]
Too much bean, bean, bea-bean, egg
Too much bean, bean, bea-bean, egg
Too much bean, bean, bea-bean, egg
Too much bean, bean, bea-bean, egg
Too much bean, bean, bea-bean, egg
