Lyrics

My name is Billie Bean, I'm a real cool dude
but I have a nitrogen fixation,
I'm tall and I'm green and I'm very often seen,
'cause I'm grown in almost every nation.

My stem it twists and twirls and I hold my leaves unfurled
'cause I love that solar energy,
I'm a sharin' sort of guy and that's the reason why
rhizobia love to live in nodules made by me.

I'm not vain but I must say that when in flower I look OK
and when my flowers turn into pods I'm really stunning,
And the seeds within my pods are such full of goodness bods
that for a feed on them all folks and beasts come running
to me... Billie Bean

I'm a traveller by nature, a friendly sort of chap,
Round the world I have both friends and family,
I'm sure that you will meet them and maybe sometimes eat them,
before you do just tell them all from me

When our legume family gathers in that farm up in the sky
we'll form a new and happy legume generation,
Grow together in the sun, enjoy the rain, have some fun
indulge our common nitrogen fixation.
