Greenback Boogie Lyrics

Cover art for Greenback Boogie lyrics by Ima Robot

Yes, "greenback" means money. And "huff" and "toss" are both synonyms for puke. It seems he's blowing his ill-gotten gains on excessive partying. "Bean Pie" is commonly associated with African-American cuisine so the line may indicate that his profitably illicit sideline is causing him to have to reluctantly deal with black gangsters, or go into a black neighbourhood to do business.

Greenback is civil war time currency while pean pie is a Muslim custard pie. Not sure how any of that deals with "black gangsters." Somewho I just don't see modern day hoot rats (no racial disrespect meant...simply disrespect for those who choose to be criminals) sitting down to custard:)

Sorry...I can't seem to type...BEAN pie and SOMEHOW and HOOD rats. Dang, I suck tonight...

I was thinking that bean pie might be served in a restaurant in an African-American neighbourhood.
