Well the mist was lifting from
And the moors were cold and green
And the driver swore there'd
When Ghafoor Hussein hit the road
With a million mouths to fill
For there's a friendly face,
He couldn't bear the lads
As they drowned and froze
With nothing but their dreams
with beans and rice and tea
And on a winter's morning
It's beans and rice and rice an d beans
For there's a friendly face, a better place
Now in Dunkirk, we remember yet,
the soldiers on the sand.
800 ships we'll not forget,
that came to lend a hand.
But here comes one more vessel now,
To serve 3 ,000 meals a day
It's beans and rice and rice and beans
For there's a friendly face, a better place
Now some have stared into his face
But he knows he'd be in their place
If it weren't for the chance he had
An d the lads and lasses,
So waste a gaffer and his bus
and a better world to come
It's beans and rice and rice and beans
For there's a friendly face, a better place
Well the mist was lifting
And the moors were cold and green
And the driver swore there'd
When Ka 'af or Hussein hit the road
with a million miles to fill
Here's beans and rice and rice
For there's a friendly face,
It's beans and rice and rice an d beans,
and a hand when you fall.
For there's a friendly face,
For there's a friendly face,
