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   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
