Lead singer and bassist Les Claypool wrote this song with his “vegetarian” friend in mind, who would go to Taco Bell every now and then. Eating meat every once in a while when you’re primarily vegetarian is called “Shaking hands with beef."
[Verse 1]
There's a time for lies
And a time for truth
I say eye for an eye
Eye for a tooth
[Pre-Chorus]
It's nice
[Verse 2]
When I roamed young
I'd scavenge around
Every nook and cranny
Of our little town
[Pre-Chorus]
It's nice, so nice, to be
[Chorus]
Pull out the cannon boys
Steal us some wine
Puff Tijuana Smalls
Shake hands with beef
[Verse 3]
She's so fine
She's so sweet
Mom and Pop they raised her
On huge slabs of meat
She's fine
[Verse 4]
A man of nine
Water derby day
Twenty six pumps on a Crosman
And it's time to play
[Pre-Chorus]
It's fine, so fine, to be
[Chorus]
Pull out the cannon boys
Steal us some wine
Puff Tijuana Smalls
Shake hands with beef
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus Out]
Pull out the cannon boys
Steal us some wine
Puff Tijuana Smalls
Shake hands with beef
Pull out the cannon boys
Steal us some wine
Puff Tijuana Smalls
Shake hands with beef
Pull out the cannon boys
Steal us some wine
Puff Tijuana Smalls
Shake hands with beef
