Lyr Req: Beans (Fletcher Peck Trio)

Subject: Looking for 'Trigger Jake' song
From: jefnamy@earthlink.net

We are looking for a song that begins, "Trigger Jake was sentenced to the chair..". We think the name is "Beans, Beans, Beans" but can't seem to find it anywhere. My mother listened to it on '45 in the 1950s. Can anybody help us find the artist and proper title? Thanks!

(I'M A FOOL FOR) BEANS
Fletcher Peck Trio

CHORUS: Beans, beans, beans,
My day begins and ends with beans,
Navy, kidney, string,
Almost anything,
Including Lima.
I'm a fool for beans.
My happiness depends on beans.
I don't care just how you make 'em.
You can boil or bake 'em.
I'm a fool for beans.

1. When Columbus came home from his trip,
Isabella said, "Chris, you're a pip.
You're the man that we admire.
Name whatever you desire."
So he drop his anchor and he said,
"Just give me— CHORUS

2. Trigger Jake was sentenced to the chair,
Knew that he would be well done, not rare.
When they said, "Your final wish
Will be your very favorite dish."
He quickly raised his shaven head and said,
"Just give me— CHORUS

I'm a fool for b-e-a-n-s, beans!"
