lyrics

BANNOCK AND BEANS
Words and music by Sugar Plum Croxen

Bannock and beans, that’s what my kukum made for me Bannock and beans, it’s okay with me
But when I went to school, my friends made fun of me Because I had, I had bannock and beans
Bannock and beans, bannock and beans
Once in a while, I do have bannock and beans
Every now and again, I would think about my grandma When she made me bannock and beans
Bannock and beans (bannock and beans) Bannock and beans (bannock and beans) Bannock and beans (bannock and beans) Bannock and beans (bannock and beans)
Bannock is a style of bread made by Native, Aboriginal people It’s so good, I’m just teaching you a little history
It was said to me that Natives love to be free
And roam this land of Canada as they please!
Chorus
Bannock and beans, that’s what my grandma made for me Bannock and beans, it’s okay with me
But when I went to school, my friends made fun of me Because I had, because I had, because I had
I had bannock and beans
