Greens Songtext
(Chorus)
I love to eat greens green greens, ain't a finer thing under the sun
So come and get it, you know you won't regret it
If it's green you know I aim to get me some
Well you can eat an orange or a red delicious, a purple plum or a pink grapefruit
But I am talking about a color that's so nutritious, and I'm about to fix it for you
You can fry it in a pan, cook it in a pot, actually doesn't matter if you cook it or not
Mother Nature knows how to grow the good stuff, I'll tell you what
Chorus
Well I sat down at supper, stared down at my plate, and I swear I must have been hallucinating
Cause all I saw were some mashed potatoes, I looked a little closer and saw a ripe tomato
I said excuse me Mr. Chef I appreciate the meal, but you seem to have forgotten a mighty big deal
And I don't want to get upset and I don't want to be mean
But I get a little feisty without my greens
As soon as I had spoke he started cooking some up
I didn't mean to be rude, I didn't mean to be tough
There's just a few things in my life I love
I'll tell you what
Chorus
Arugula kale collard Swiss chard, you've got some growing in your yard
Mustard turnip dandelion spinach, I'm talking about the green lineage
You got your garlic as fast as you can and are cooking up a goodness that has no end
I'm talking about jubilation in a pan
Its mighty good stuff
Chorus
