Vega-Tables
Beach Boys/Brian Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I'm gonna chow down my vegetables.
I love you must of all, my favorite vegetable.
If you brought a big brown bag
Of them home, I'd jump up and down
And hope you'd toss me a carrot
Cart off and sell my vegetables.
I love you must of all, my favorite vegetable.
I tried to kick the ball, but my tennie
Flew right off. I'm red as a beet
'cause I'm so embarrassed.
Sleep a lot, eat a lot, brush 'em like crazy.
Run a lot, do a lot, never be lazy.
Sleep a lot, eat a lot, brush 'em like crazy.
Run a lot, do a lot, never be lazy.
Da da da da
I threw away my candy bar and I ate
The wrapper. And when they told me
What I did, I burst into laughter.
I know that you'll fee better, when you send us in your letter.
And tell us the name of your...Your favorite vegetable.
