Fruits and veges, fruits and veges—
Eat those cucumber and apple wedges!
Word up, sister, brother:
You’d better listen to your mother!
Fruits and veges, fruits and veges:
They can help you on the toilet’s edges.
Ask your local grocer
And order prunes and plums to go, sir!
Try, try, try to do without ‘em:
You’re constipated!
Try, try, try, and learn their nutrients
Can’t be debated.
Milk has mucus. Meat is fatty.
So don’t bank on that cheeseburger patty.
Fratboys, tell your pledges:
You’d better eat,
You’d better eat,
You’d better eat your fruits and veges!
Eat those cucumber and apple wedges!
Word up, sister, brother:
You’d better listen to your mother!
Fruits and veges, fruits and veges:
They can help you on the toilet’s edges.
Ask your local grocer
And order prunes and plums to go, sir!
Try, try, try to do without ‘em:
You’re constipated!
Try, try, try, and learn their nutrients
Can’t be debated.
Milk has mucus. Meat is fatty.
So don’t bank on that cheeseburger patty.
Fratboys, tell your pledges:
You’d better eat,
You’d better eat,
You’d better eat your fruits and veges!

Sir, Great write to this Sinatra ~ Kamelot tune!
especially liked "prunes and plums to go"...lol
Great source of fiver
I loved the original song. Heard that for "Married With Children"
What Alvin said. Very well rhymed.
A fun parody that, regardless whether wittingly, wittily rebuts my own recent submission. In my kidhood, tho', I'd still have said "Uh-uh,Mama, I don't wanna!" :-)
