Rice and Beans (But No Beans) lyrics

When there's rice and beans
But you have no beans
And your rice is running pretty thin
When your socks have holes
And the hard wind blows
And the cold starts coming on in

Phone cut off (phone cut off)
Worn through shoes (worn through shoes)
Cheque may bounce (cheque may bounce)
Men con you (men con you)
At the end of the day, I'm glad to have a friend like you

When you just can't sleep
And you're out of sheep
And the night is longer than the Nile
There was a time you knew
Just what to do
But it's sure been a long, long while

Miserable soup (miserable sup)
Slotted spoon (slotted spoon)
Faded stars (faded stars)
Big mean moon (big mean moon)
Heart may break (heart may break)
Blood run blue (blood run blue)
At the end of the day, I'm glad to have a friend like you
Mrs. Aiuto
(There she goes)

When there's rice and beans
But you have no beans
And your rice is still running pretty thin
When your socks have holes
And the hard wind blows
And the cold starts coming on in

Phone cut off (phone cut off)
Worn through shoes (worn through shoes)
Cheque may bounce (cheque may bounce)
Men conned you (men conned you)
Heart may break (heart may break)
Blood run blue (blood run blue)
At the end of the day, I'm glad to have a friend like you
At the end of the day, I'm glad to have a friend like you
Yeah, at the end of the day, I'm glad to have a friend like you
