Wake up the mornin’
And I’m havin’ some breakfast
But I’m still wishin’
It was suppertime
I get to school real early
And I talk to Miss Greenfield
Cause I wanna ask her,
«Teacher, when’s suppertime?»
We go to the classroom, yeah
She’s talkin’ about insects
But I’m still wishin’
It was suppertime
So gimme some of them green beans, yeah
I wanna a bunch of them pinto beans
I want biscuits
And I want ’em at suppertime
[kazoo solo]
I get home at three-thirty, yeah
And I’m lookin’ for momma
Cause I wanna ask her,
«Momma, when’s suppertime?»
She says, «Now, Ringo,
Why you always keep askin?
You gonna get it
Right around suppertime»
Gimme some of them green beans, yeah
I wanna a bunch of them pinto beans

And I want ’em at suppertime
Now we’re sittin’ at the table
And we’re willin’ and able
Now we’re gonna fill up
Cause it’s suppertime
