Beans Taste Fine The Brothers Four

[Verse 1]
Now, a friend of mine, out in Chicago
He finally made his pile
He got himself a mansion and a butler and a chef
He was livin' in the latest style
But one day I ran into him, in a greasy spoon
And parked out in front was his big limousine
And I said, "Buddy, if you got so much money
How come you're in here eating beans?"
And he said

[Chorus]
After you've been havin' steak for a long time (After you've been havin' steak)
Beans, beans taste fine
And after you've been drinkin' champagne and brandy (After you've been drinkin' that champagne)
You'rе gonna settle for wine (Sеttle for wine)
Now, the world is funny, and people are strange (World is funny)
And man is a creature of constant change
And after you've been havin' steak for a long time
Beans, beans taste fine (Beans taste fine)
(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
Oh, yeah, beans, beans taste fine (Beans taste fine)

[Verse 2]
Well, I ran into another friend of mine
In a rowdy old Clark Street Bar
And I said, "Friend, is it true what I heard about you?
I heard you married a beautiful eighteen-year-old shapely movie star
And yet here you sit, tryin' to make out with a barfly
Who's too old and ugly to be true"
And he said, "Felix, you're a very young man
So, sit down and I'll explain it all to you
He said
