LYRICS W/ CHORDS:
There’s a vegetable
I want to talk about.
It’s green and leafy and
good.
There’s a vegetable
I want to talk about.
I eat it all day just like
I should.
It’s name is BROCCOLI.
It’s name is BROCCOLI.
It’s name is BROCCOLI.
And I eat it every day
like I should. Could
you give me a reason not
to eat it?
There’s no vegetable that
can beat it.
You know, I really, really
need it.
Broccoli, broccoli --
it’s good.
/Some
people take their vitamins
(yeah).
but, you know, they’re
missing out (uh-huh).
Some people take their
vitamins (oh, yeah),
but this is one vegetable one shouldn’t
live without.
(Without a doubt.)
It’s name is BROCCOLI.
It’s name is BROCCOLI.
It’s name is BROCCOLI.
And I eat it every day
like I should. Could
you give me a reason not
to eat it.
There’s no vegetable that
can beat it.
You know, I really, really
need it.
Broccoli, broccoli --
it’s good.
/So, make
room for 2 or 3 servings a
day.
It’s low in fats and
saturated fatty acids, what
more can I say?
Melt some cheese
or eat it plain.
Get acquainted with my
friend
and you won’t complain.
It’s name is BROCCOLI.
It’s name is BROCCOLI.
It’s name is BROCCOLI.
And I eat it every day
like I should. Could
you give me a reason not
to eat it.
There’s no vegetable that
can beat it.
You know, I really, really
need it.
Broccoli, broccoli --
it’s good.
/Now,
one more thing about
broccoli:
you gotta eat it, eat it,
eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
(One thing about broccoli:)
(you gotta) eat it, eat
it, eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
(Just eat that broccoli:)
you gotta eat it, eat it,
eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
It’s name is BROCCOLI.
It’s name is BROCCOLI.
It’s name is BROCCOLI.
And I eat it every day
like I should. Could
you give me a reason not
to eat it.
There’s no vegetable that
can beat it.
You know, I really, really
need it.
Broccoli, broccoli --
it’s good.
[1]Let’s talk about broc-col-i.
Let’s talk about you and
me.
Let’s talk about all the
vegeta-
bles from which you can derive
vitamin C.
Let’s talk about it.
(Let’s talk about it.)
Let’s talk about broccoli.
We’re talking about
broccoli.
It means a lot to me.
Who knew a vegetable could
be controversy?
It would win playing
Monopoly.
Whoa, this is the way it’s
got to be.
What used to be a mystery
to me,
became my friend, you see.
The root of catastrophe.
When I go to the
supermarket, it’s what I go to see.
It is the way.
What can I say?
But “hats off to you,
Broccoli.”
When things aren’t going
your way,
just think of broccoli.
What is it you wanted me
to see?
Was it having to do with
broccoli?
Let’s hear it for
broccoli.
B-R-O-C
C-O-L-I
Broccoli.
I’m not a moron;
you don’t have to spell it
out for me.
So, quit your bitchin’,
and come to the kitchen.
Broccoli is sure
to cure
any condition.
We’re talkin’ about
(BROCCOLI!)
Let me hear you say
(BROCCOLI!)
A little louder
(BROCCOLI!)
Break it down
(BROCCOLI! BROCCOLI!)
(BROCCOLI! BROCCOLI!)
