THE BEAN by BERTON BRALEY

First Line: THE BEAN! / SAY, BUDDY, THE MORE I HAVE SEEN
Last Line: HAS GOT IT ALL OVER THE BONE AND THE MUSCLE.
Subject(s): BEANS;

The bean!
Say, buddy, the more I have seen,
The more do I see—and I'm putting it strong,
The bean is the thing that'll help you along.
Yes, kiddo, you tell 'em
The old cerebellum
Whenever you get in the strife and the tussle
Has got it all over the bone and the muscle.
