lyrics

Beans & Biscuits
Beans & Biscuits
She brings me beans and biscuits
Feeds me beans & biscuits ‘til I’m gray
Burnt on the outside. Raw on the inside.
Beans & Biscuits every goddamn day
I’ve seen you no-good sinners with your fine pork chop dinners
Mac & Cheese a-settin’ on the side
I could waste my wishes on a lot of tasty dishes
But there’s just one meal I never could abide.

Beans & Biscuits
No more beans and biscuits
Beans and biscuits delivered to my grave
Gonna be a-killin’ if you don’t commence to grillin’
Beans and biscuits ain’t all a man’ll crave
I’ve seen you no-good fatties with your fine hamburger patties
You savor every gooey greasy bite
All you citizens cramming
Your greedy gob-holes with poached salmon
And a different fruity salad every night.

All these shingles and legumes
Gonna drag me to my doom
Been years since I even saw my appetite
I cannot tolerate any more carbohydrate
This meal ain’t going down without a fight

Beans & Biscuits
She brings me beans and biscuits
Feeds me beans & biscuits until I’m pale
Burnt on the outside. Raw on the inside.
Three times a day without fail
I wonder what they’re serving in the jail.

about

Rich Krueger Chicago, Illinois

A literary songwriter of the first rank. It’s his quavering, compassionate, observant, imaginative, sometimes overstuffed, always eloquent songwriting that his crack bands are there to put across, as they do, unfailingly.... the kind of miracle that keeps me checking out thousands of albums a year so I can grade a couple hundred for posterity.
- Robert Christgau, Dean of American Rock Critics
