[Intro: Button accordion kick-off, rubboard and bass slam in on bar 5] [Shout Chorus: Lead and band] Les haricots sont salés! (Salés!) Salt meat in the pot today! (Hé!) Les haricots sont salés! (Salés!) Allons danser, all night and day! (Hé!) [Instrumental Break: Accordion, 16 bars] [Verse 1] We sold the rice in Eunice, and the check came clean and true, Lord, we sold the rice in Eunice, and the check came clean and true — Now the beans are salted, mon cher, and there's salt meat in the stew. [Instrumental Break: Button Accordion, 16 bars] [Instrumental Break: Guitar, flatpicked, 16 bars] [Verse 2] Mama got her ring back, and she wore it to the dance, Mama got her ring back, Lord, she wore it to the dance — Daddy grabbed the rubboard, and the old man took his chance. [Rubboard Solo: Stop-time, band hits on beat one, shouts in the gaps] (Ça c'est bon!) (Allons danser!) (Pas salés no more!) [Instrumental Break: Button Accordion and fiddle trade four bars each, speeding up] [Shout Chorus: Full band] Les haricots sont salés! (Salés!) Salt meat in the pot today! (Hé!) Les haricots sont salés! (Salés!) Allons danser, all night and day! (Hé!) [Outro: Full band unison run, shave-and-a-haircut ending] (All: Salés!) [End]
