Jim's Note: You could try singing this song with your tongue firmly planted in your cheek, but it would make it very hard to be understood. Suffice to say the song should not be taken seriously!

Baked Beans And Grits
© 1999, Jim Lesses. All Rights Reserved.

You say that you love me, and then you say that you don’t,
And sometimes you’re easy, and sometimes you won’t.
You’re leaving me colder than a broken down tap,
And you’re driving me crazy with this petulant crap.

CHORUS
So I’m warnin’ you, baby, I’m a-goin’ to break,
And if you think I’m jokin’, well that’s your mistake.
Cos, your love to me is like baked beans and grits,
It’s nice when I get it, but it gives me the shits.

You don’t like my music. Well, I don’t like your smokes.
But why break my records, when I still have to choke?
And you don’t like my cookin’, so you only eat greens,
And those fried green tomatoes and white navy beans.

BRIDGE
Well you kick my dog Scooter, when you think I don’t look,
And you scrunch up the pages in my favourite book.
You break my guitar strings, now that takes the cake!
But you won’t stop me singing, when I make my escape.

So I’m takin’ my guitar, and my recipe’s too,
But my broken old records, I’m a-leavin’ to you.
And I’m takin’ old Scooter, and my old pickup truck,
And if you don’t like it, take a lemon and ... suck.

Yes, I’m warnin’ you baby, I’m a-goin’ to break,
And if you think I’m jokin’, well that’s your mistake.
Cos, your love to me is like baked beans and grits,
It’s nice when I get it, but...

I’m warnin’ you, baby, I’m a-goin’ to break,
And if you think I’m jokin’, well that’s your mistake.
Cos, your love to me is like baked beans and grits,
It’s nice when I get it, but - let's call it quits.
