Beans and Cornbread

Beans and Cornbread had a fight

Beans knocked Cornbread out of sight

Cornbread said, "Now that's alright

Meet me on the corner tomorrow night

"I'll be ready, I'll be ready tomorrow night. (2x)

I'll be ready, I'll be ready to have a fight."

That's what Beans said to Cornbread

"I'll be ready tomorrow night."

Beans told Cornbread, "You ain't straight

You better wake up or I'll gash your gate

Been in this pot since half past two

Swelling and puffing and almost due."

"I'll be ready, I'll be ready tomorrow night."

That's what Beans told Cornbread

"Always getting mad at me

I ain't mad at you

I'll be ready tomorrow night

I'll be ready, mmmmm."

Beans grabbed Cornbread by the toe

"Beans," said Cornbread, "let me go."

Cornbread said, "I'll lay you low

I'm gonna fight you, you so-and-so."

"Meet me on the corner

Meet me on the corner tomorrow night."

That's what Beans said to Cornbread

"You're so bad, you always wanna fight

Meet me on the corner tomorrow night

And I'm gonna beat the hell out'ya

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Meet me on the corner tomorrow night."

Beans hit Cornbread on the head

Cornbread said, "I'm almost dead."

Beans told Cornbread, "Get up, man

You know that we go hand-in-hand."

"Beans and Cornbread

Beans and Cornbread, hand-in-hand."

That's what Beans said to Cornbread

"We should stick together hand-in-hand

We should hang out together like wieners and sauerkraut

We should stick together like hot dogs and mustard

We should get up every morning

And hang out together like sisters and brothers

Every Saturday night, we should hang out like chitlins and potato salad

Like strawberries and shortcake

Like corned beef and cabbage

Like liver and onions

Like red beans and rice

Like bagel and lox

Like sour cream and biscuits

Like bread and butter

Like hot cakes and molasses."

Beans told Cornbread

"It makes no difference what you think about me

But it makes a whole lotta difference what I think about you

We should hang out together like hot cakes and molasses."

That's what Beans said to Cornbread

'Cause Beans and Cornbread

They go hand-in-hand
