"
Beans, Beans, The Musical Fruit" is a playground saying and
children's song about the capacity for
beans to contribute to
flatulence.
[1] The song is also variously known as "
Beans, Beans, the Magical Fruit", "
Beans, Beans, the Miracle Fruit", "
Beans, Beans, the Tropical Fruit", "
Beans, Beans, the Wonderful Fruit", and "
Beans, Beans, they make you fart". One variation of the song (sometimes called the second verse) is titled "
Beans, Beans, They're Good for Your Heart."
The basis of the song (and
bean/fart humor in general) is the high amount of
oligosaccharides present in beans.
Bacteria in the
large intestine digest these sugars, producing
carbon dioxide and
hydrogen. These gases are expelled from the body as
flatulence.

Lyrics
Various versions of the song exist.
[3] These are some examples of the lyrics:
Beans, beans, the musical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot
The more you toot, the better you feel
So we have beans at every meal!1
or
Pinto beans, are good for your heart
The more you eat, the more you fart
The more you fart, the better you feel
Pinto beans for every meal
or
Beans, beans, the magical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot
Down your pants and in your boot 1
or
Beans, beans, the magical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot
The more you toot, the better you feel
So why not have beans for every meal (Also, So eat your beans at every meal)
or
Beans, beans, they're good for your heart
The more you eat, the more you fart
The more you fart, the happier/better you feel
So let's eat beans with every meal1
or
Beans, beans, they're good for your heart
The more you eat, the more you fart
The more you fart, the more you eat
The more you sit on the toilet seat
or
Beans, beans, they're good for your heart
the more you eat the more you fart
the more you fart the better you feel
beans, beans for every meal. This line can also be replaced with: "So eat your beans with every meal"
1This line can also be replaced with: "So eat them beans at every meal"
Beans, beans the magical fruit
The more you eat the more you toot
The more you toot the better you feel
So eat good beans with every meal
or

The more you fart the more you poo
The more you poo the more you do, which makes you wee
The more you wee the happier you'll be
