Beans And Cornbread Lyrics & Chords By Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five

Beans and Cornbread
Beans and Cornbread
Beans and Cornbread
Beans and Cornbread had a fight
Beans knocked Cornbread out of sight
Cornbread said, "Now that's alright,
Meet me on the corner tomorrow night"
I'll be ready, I'll be ready tomorrow night
I'll be ready, I'll be ready tomorrow night
I'll be ready, I'll be ready tomorrow night
That's what Beans said to Cornbread
I'll be ready tomorrow night
Beans told Cornbread "You ain't straight,
you better wake up or I'll gash you gate.
Been in this pot since half past two,
Swelling and puffing and almost due."
I'll be ready, I'll be ready tomorrow night
That's what Beans told Cornbread
"Always getting mad at me. I ain't mad at you."
I'll be ready tomorrow night
I'll be ready Hmmmmm
Beans grabbed Cornbread by the toe
Beans told Cornbread, "Let me go"
Cornbread said, "I'll lay you low,
I'm gonna fight you, you so-and-so."
Meet me on the corner
Meet me on the corner tomorrow night
That's what Beans said to Cornbread
"You're so bad, always willing to fight.
Meet me on the corner tomorrow night,
and I'm gonna beat the Devil out ya."
On the corner tomorrow night
Beans hit Cornbread on the head
Cornbread said, "I'm almost dead."
Beans told Cornbread, "Get up man,
You know that we go hand in hand."
Beans and Cornbread, Beans and Cornbread hand in hand
That's what Beans said to Cornbread,
"We should stick together hand in hand.
We should hang out together like weiners and saurkraut.
We should stick together like hot dogs and mustard.
We should get up every morning and hang out together like sisters and brothers.
Every Saturday night, we should hang out like chitlins and potato salad.
Like strawberry and shortcake.
Like corned beef and cabbage.
Like liver and onions.
Like red beans and rice.
Like bagel and lox.
Like sour cream and biscuit.
Like bread and butter.
Like hot cakes and molasses."
Beans told Corn bread,
"It makes no difference what you think about me,
But it makes a whole lot of difference what I think about you.
We should hang out together like hot cakes and molasses."
That's what Beans said to Cornbread
Cause Beans and Cornbread
They go hand in hand
