Eat your greens
Don't forget your beans & celery
Don't forget to bring
Your fake i.d.
Eat a bunch of these
Magnificient
With sauerkraut
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Sauerkraut!
Eat a grape, a fig
A crumpete too ...
You'll pump 'em right through
Doo-wee-ooo
Eat your shoes
Don't forget the strings
And sox
Even eat the box
Your bought 'em in
You can eat the truck
That brought 'em in
Garbage truck
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmouldy
Garbage truck
Eat the truck & driver
And his gloves
Nutritiousness
Deliciousness
Worthlessness
