Viva La Frijole! (Intro) (Verse 1) Well, I'm just a cannellini, see me sittin' in the can Another soldier in the army of the everyday workin' man But I'm a small legume with a big, bold plan I'm sick of the grind, the clock, the machine, and the man! The bossman's breath is hot with the stink of cheap cologne He says, "Get to work!" but I just wanna stay at home! Gonna crack this tin-foil ceiling, gonna shake this establishment I'm not asking for a favor, this ain't a polite request sent! (Pre-Chorus) They give us two a year, maybe three if we're all good For the Queen's birthday, and a saint, like we all should! But I say "NO WAY!" that's a system built on lies! 'Cause I'm an anarchistic bean with freedom in my eyes! (Chorus) VIVA LA FRIJOLE! Hear the rumble and the roar! We're takin' back the minutes, we're bustin' down the door! VIVA LA FRIJOLE! We ain't lookin' for a raise! We just want FIFTY-TWO MORE PAID PUBLIC HOLIDAYS! (Woo-hoo! Go!) (Verse 2) They got a day for the ANZACs, a day for Christmas trees, But where's the day for Tuesday? or a national "Do-As-You-Please!"? I wanna honour Lunchtime with a mandated, paid-for nap, I wanna celebrate the moment that the coffee finally snapped! We need "National Nothin' Day" where you can't be at your desk! Gonna picket the parliament in a tiny bean protest! The system's built on profit, they're counting every dime, But I'm a rebel-rousin' bean and I'm demanding my free time! (Guitar Solo.) (Pre-Chorus) They tell us we're lucky just to get the scraps they throw, They say, "Be thankful for the five days that you know!" But I say "GET OUT!" that's a system built on lies! 'Cause I'm an anarchistic bean with freedom in my eyes! (Chorus) VIVA LA FRIJOLE! Hear the rumble and the roar! We're takin' back the minutes, we're bustin' down the door! VIVA LA FRIJOLE! We ain't lookin' for a raise! We just want FIFTY-TWO MORE PAID PUBLIC HOLIDAYS! (Bridge.) Now the suits, they scratch their heads, they call me a communist, They say "That little bean's a terrorist, he's got a clenched green fist!" But I'm just a simple dreamer, I got a simple, clear demand: The world needs less paperwork, and more beach-time in the sand! (Back to fast tempo!) (Chorus) VIVA LA FRIJOLE! Hear the rumble and the roar! We're takin' back the minutes, we're bustin' down the door! VIVA LA FRIJOLE! We ain't lookin' for a raise! We just want FIFTY-TWO MORE PAID PUBLIC HOLIDAYS! (Outro) HOLIDAY!
