When the ‘shrooms are cooking on the grill
And broccoli meets cheese in pie
Then peas will guide utensils
As clo-oves of garlic fry

This is the dawning of the Age of Asparagus
The Age of Asparagus
Asparagus! Asparagus!

Carrot halves and arties-choking
Simmer down with peppers smoking
Onions diced and car-melizing
Golden-browning bread is rising
Mystic herbal synthesizing
Is this sounding appetizing
Asparagus! Asparagus!

When legumes are spiced and crazy tricked
And basil leaves are steaming all night
Just please make sure they’re hand-picked
And ta-aste a green delight

Green Giant’s yawning in the Age of Asparagus
The Age of Asparagus
Asparagus! Asparagus!
