You can grab a marine and you show him a bean He says : "what does it mean, that I never have seen" So you grab a civilian, and one in a million can identify So I say to you : "why do we got to have beans ?" Multiple beans, ??? beans, succulent beans Nothing but beans (beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans) (Transcribed by Ferda Dolunay & Bill Huntley - March 2005)
