What Rhymes with Beanpoller?

Well, I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
Yes, I'm a steamroller now, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues
Well, I'm a cement mixer
A churning urn of burning funk
Yes, I'm a cement mixer for you, baby
A churning urn of burning funk
Well, I'm a demolition derby (yeah)
A hefty hunk of steaming junk
Now, I'm a napalm bomb, baby
Just guaranteed to blow your mind
Yeah, I'm a napalm bomb for you, baby
Oh, guaranteed, just guaranteed to blow your mind
And if I can't have your love for my own (now)
Sweet child, won't be nothing left behind
It seems how lately, baby
Got a bad case steamroller blues
-James Taylor; Steamroller Blues
"A steamroller is a form of road roller — a type of heavy construction machinery used for levelling surfaces, such as roads or airfields — that is powered by a steam engine. The levelling/flattening action is achieved through a combination of the size and weight of the vehicle and the rolls: the smooth wheels and the large cylinder or drum fitted in place of treaded road wheels."
Mannheim Steamroller is a music group founded by Chip Davis, and co-founded by Jackson Berkey, known primarily for its modern recordings of Christmas music.

Steamroller is a term used by smokers of cannabis to describe a type of pipe that consists of a hollow tube with both ends open, and a bowl on one side near one end. It is presumably called this because of its resemblance to the front wheel of the piece of machinery. A steamroller is used by filling the bowl with cannabis, putting ones hand over the end of the pipe nearest the bowl, putting the other end in ones mouth, lighting and inhaling until the chamber is filled with smoke, and then removing ones hand from the end and quickly inhaling the collected smoke.
