Lyrics
Broccoli
Chorus
I don?t like Broccoli
Don?t put it on my plate please
Give me something else that?s green
Like a nice big bowl of fresh green beans
(last time) Or.... Kermit D. Frog and a bowl of mint ice cream
Sometimes I don?t eat my peas
That doesn?t make my mom pleased
But I?ll gladly eat up all my corn
To get me to do that you need not twist my arm (ORM) C/
I really like spaghetti with tomato sauce
Uneaten meals mom rarely has to toss
So give me a plate of Italian please
Be sure you include fresh ricotta cheese C/
Now singing about vegetables is nice
To make them rhyme I rarely have to think twice
But sometimes I begin to fuss
When I have to rhyme with.....Asparagus! C/
