Broccoli Songtext / Lyric

sung (low, continuously):



Wise words from the

departing

Eat your greens,

especially broccoli

Remember to

say "thank you"

for the things

you haven't had



By working

the soil

we cultivate

the sky

hm-m

We embrace

vegetable

kingdom






The death of

your father,

the death of

your mother

Is something

you prepare for

All your life

All their life



spoken:



Wise words from the departing:

The death of the mother, and the death of the father,

Is something you prepare for

For all of their lives,

For all of your life.



Wise words from the departing:

Eat your greens, especially broccoli.

Wear sensible shoes,

And always say "thank you."

Especially for the things

You never had.



Wise words from the departing:

By working the soil

We cultivate the sky,

And enter the vegetable kingdom

Of our own heaven.

By working the soil

By working the soil

We cultivate good manners.

We used to say "please", and "thank you."

Especially for the things

We never had.



Wise words from the departing:

Eat your greens, especially broccoli.

And always say "thank you,"

Especially for broccoli.
