—Veggie Medley—
I—Eat Your Veggies
You need to eat your vegetables
(Eat them now! Eat them now!)
I want you to clean your plate
(Eat them all! Eat them all!)
The dog doesn't need your vegetables
(Slipping food to the dog! Slipping food to the dog!)
I know that when you put it in your mouth, you place it in a tissue
And if you think I know, you try and change the issue!
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
(Eat them now! Eat them now!)
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
(Eat them now! Eat them now!)
You are growing and you need your veggies
(Eat them now! Eat them now!)
If you think that I'll just forget
(You are so wrong! You are so wrong!)
You're gonna' have to eat them sooner or later
(Now or then! Now or then!)
If you don't eat them hot, you're going to eat them cold
If you don't eat them new, you're going to eat them old
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
(Eat them now! Eat them now!)
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
(Eat them now! Eat them now!)
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
II—Vegetable Serenade
Thank you
I'm sorry that I left you in the science lab
Did they do experiments on you?
They turned you into a vegetable
Your roots are growing, your chlorophyll is showing
I'm so sorry that I left you on the garden gate
Where you now sit and vegetate
You are now not human, now not normal, you're a veggie on my plate
Now I'm eating your left side, for your right side I already ate!
I put you in the blender, I put you in the grate, I even put you in a jug of V8!
You did not come from outer space, but I dip you in my cheese
You make my guests smile, and say
"May I have some more please?"
So I sing to you a vegetable serenade!
So I sing to you a vegetable serenade!
So I sing to you a vegetable serenade!
III—Vegetable Junkie
There once was a human, who had a vegetable garden
And when he sprayed with toxic waste, all the vegetables would harden
Pick all the vegetables up
Stir them in a cup
Make some vegetable stew
That will really make him drool
A broccoli and a squash were the human's friends
He studied the vegetable language, and learned all the vegetable trends
Oh cauliflower, brussel sprouts—I eat them while I'm in or out
Oh cabbage, lettuce and carrots—I feed them to my parrots
Oh broccoli, celery, turnips—I medicate them to burn-ups
Asparagus, eggplants, and peas—They're good for making teas
Lima beans, string beans, and baked beans—You've got to get what I means
Please don't give me the meats, I'd rather be eating me beets
Oh help me, help me, help me, I think I'm a vegetable junkie!
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
So I sing to you a vegetable serenade!
So I sing to you a vegetable serenade!
IV—Lima Bean
A lima bean was on my plate, and a rotten date
I like lima beans—vegetables can talk inside of high-pitched voices
They make their own choices
They have veins and skin, but not blood within
Just paste—the kind you eat in kindergarten
Just paste—but green, not white, like kindergarten
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
Just paste—the kind you eat in kindergarten
Just paste—but green, not white, like kindergarten
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
I push aside the date, and attempt to communicate with the lima bean
Vegetables can talk, but I just realized something
This vegetable is dead, now nothing can be said
I'll just have to eat my food, and strip the vegetable nude
And eat paste—the kind you eat in kindergarten
Paste—but green, not white, like kindergarten
Green not white like kindergarten!
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
(Eat them now! Eat them now!)
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
(Eat them now! Eat them now!)
Please eat your veggies! Please eat your veggies!
(Eat them now! Eat them now!)
So I sing to you a vegetable serenade!
So I sing to you a vegetable serenade!
