Lyrics
Each Autumntime in suburbia, it's a well-established fact
That neighbors and their gardens, are gonna' get to giving back
And while we all do thank them - and their agricultural cheer
There are only so much produce that we can use in any year
Enough with the damn fresh Zucchini
But there's no room in our cupboards or bins
And while we celebrate your neighborly efforts
But we must say no more my friend
I just can't eat more salad
Or that broccolini crap
Enough with the damn zucchini
I'm gonna start giving it back
Yes, I do love tomatoes, but not by the ton or the gross
And that bushel of cucus last Wednesday, is not really even close
I'm sad that I said I like garlic, but the vampires pass us by
If I slip that I like apples, we'll be living on apple pie
Enough with the damn fresh Zucchini
But there's no room in our cupboards or bins
And while we celebrate your neighborly efforts
But we must say no more my friend
I just can't eat more salad
Or that broccolini crap
Enough with the damn zucchini
I'm gonna start giving it back
