Lyrics

I'm a pulse pulse pulse, yes a pulse pulse pulse,
I'm a member of a noble family,
I'm a grain grain grain from a legume pod,
We've been feeding folks since ancient times you see.

To the feasts we've been, given by the queens
and the kings of ancient Babylon and Greece,
and the Pharoahs too, I must say to you,
on our tasty flesh they really loved to feast.

(repeat verse 1)

Oh the Chinese are, in the world by far,
the most numerous of all our humankind,
it's the soybean curd, well that's what I've heard,
keeps them healthy both in body and in mind.
I'm a pulse pulse pulse, yes a pulse pulse pulse,
I'm a member of a noble family,
I'm a grain grain grain from a legume pod,
We've been feeding folks since ancient times you see.

And the lentil crew and the chickpea too,
Keep the Indian farmer strong to work the land,
South Americans, with the help of beans,
sustain the populations of their varied lands.

I'm a pulse pulse pulse, yes a pulse pulse pulse,
I'm a member of a noble family,
I'm a grain grain grain from a legume pod,
We're still feeding folks in modern times you see.
