📜 Lyrics
This is a song about vegetables, they keep you regular, they're real good for you
Call any vegetable
Call it by name
You gotta call one today
When you get off the train
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
(Hey-hey-hey) The vegetable will respond to you
(La-la-la la-la) The vegetable will respond to you
(La-la-la la-la) Look out
Call any vegetable
Pick up your phone
Think of a vegetable
Lonely at home
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
(Yeah-yeah-hey) The vegetable will respond to you
(La-la-la la-la) The vegetable will respond to you
(La-la-la la-la) Ain't it funky now
Ruta-bay-ay, ruta-bay-ay
Ruta-bay-ay, ruta-bay-ay
Ruta-bay
Good God
No one will know
If you don't want to let 'em know
No one will know
'Less it's you that might tell 'em so
Call and they'll come to you
Smiling and covered with dew
Vegetables dream, vegetables dream
Vegetables dream of responding to you
Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your joint while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide?
To hide
To hide
To hide
You know, a lot of people don't bother about their friends in the vegetable kingdom
They think, "What can I say? What can a person like myself say to a vegetable?"
But the answer is simple, my friends
Just call and tell 'em how you feel
About muffins
Pumpkins
Wax paper
Caledonias, mahagonies and elbows and green things in general
And soon, a new raport
You and your new little green and yellow buddies grooving together
Maintaining your coolness together
Worshipping together in the church of your choice, only in America
O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of
Call any vegetable
Call it by name
Call one today
When you get off the train
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
Oh, that the vegetable will respond to you
What a pumpkin
Call any vegetable
Call it by name
You gotta call one today
When you get off the train
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
(Hey-hey-hey) The vegetable will respond to you
(La-la-la la-la) The vegetable will respond to you
(La-la-la la-la) Look out
Call any vegetable
Pick up your phone
Think of a vegetable
Lonely at home
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
(Yeah-yeah-hey) The vegetable will respond to you
(La-la-la la-la) The vegetable will respond to you
(La-la-la la-la) Ain't it funky now
Ruta-bay-ay, ruta-bay-ay
Ruta-bay-ay, ruta-bay-ay
