If You Know Beans About Chili, You Know That Chili Has No Beans
02.14.04 (11:54 pm)   [edit]

The following song has become the anthem at every Terlingua Cook-Off, where no chili with beans recipes are allowed to compete.
If You Know Beans About Chili, You Know That Chili Has No Beans
by Ken Finlay - 1976
singer, songwriter, and owner of Cheatham Street Warehouse (a music hall in San Marcos).

You burn some mesquite
And when the coals get hot
You bunk up some meat
And you throw it on a pot.

While some chile pods and garlic
And comino and stuff
Then you add a little salt
Till there's just enough

You can throw in some onions
To make it smell good
You can even add tomatoes
If you feel like you should

But if you know beans about chili
You know that chili has no beans
If you know beans about chili

You know it didn't come from Mexico
Chili was God's gift to Texas
(Or maybe it came from down below)
And chili doesn't go with macaroni
And dammed Yankee's don't go with chili queens;


And if you know beans about chili
You know that chili has no beans
