It's not easy being a bean
Having to spend your life called "pinto" or a "string"
When I think it would be nicer
Being a butternut squash or artichoke
Or something much more eye-popping like that

It's not easy being a bean
It seems you get cooked up with so many ordinary things
The onions bowl you over
Cause they smell so strong
Like Miss Piggy on a bad day
or frogs in the swamp

But beans have such variety
And beans can be soft or crunchy-like
And beans can be glued all together
to make a nice picture
Like people could be

When bean is all there is to be
It could make you feel so dry
But why shrivel, why shrivel
i'm a bean and it'll do fine
I'm tootiful, and I think that's what I want to be
