This is a song about vegetables
They keep you regular,
They're real good for you.

Call any vegetable
(Call any vegetable)
Call it by name
(Call any vegetable)
Call one today
(Call any vegetable)
When you get off the train
(Call any vegetable)
Call any vegetable And the chances are good
That the vegetable will respond to you

(Some people don't go for prunes...I
don't know, I've always found that if they...)

Call any vegetable
(Call any vegetable)
Pick up your phone
(Call any vegetable)
Think of a vegetable
(Call any vegetable)
Lonely at home
(Call any vegetable)
Call any vegetable And the chances are good
That a vegetable will respond to you

Rutabaga, Rutabaga,
Rutabaga, Rutabaga,
Rutabay-y-y-y...

(A prune isn't really a vegetable...
CABBAGE is a vegetable...)

No one will know
If you don't want to let them know
No one will know
'Less it's you that might tell 'em so

Call and they'll come to you
Covered with dew
Vegetables dream Of responding to you

Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your hand while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide?

A lot of people don't bother about their
friends in the vegetable kingdom. They
think: Oh, ah, what can I say? What can
a person like myself say to a vegetable?
But the answer is simple, my friends:
Just call, and tell them how you feel
about muffins...pumpkins...wax
paper...Caledonia, Mahoganies, elbows
...and green things in general...and
soon, a new rapport...you and your
new little green and yellow buddies,
Grooving together...Oh no! Maintaining
your coolness together! Worshipping
together in the church of your
choice...(only in America...)
Ah ahha ahha aahha

Call any vegetable Call it by name
Ah you gotta call one today
When you get off the train

Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
WOW! That the vegetable will RESPOND to you!

Oh no! Can you see them responding? The
pumpkin is breathing hard...h-h-h-h
h-h-h-H-H-H-H-H-H-H - H - HHHHHHHHHHHH!
(what a pumpkin!)
