==Lyrics== 

Eat your greens<br>
Don't forget your beans<br>
And celery<br>
Don't forget to bring<br>
Your fake I.D.<br>
Eat a bunch of these<br>
Magnificent<br>

With sauerkraut<br>
M-m-m-mhh! Sauerkraut<br>
Eat a grape, a fig, a crumpet, too,<br>
You'll pump 'em right through<br>
Doo-wee-ooo<br>
<br>
Eat your shoes<br>
Don't forget the strings<br>
And socks<br>
Even eat the box<br>
Your bought 'em in<br>
You can eat the truck<br>
That brought 'em in<br>

Garbage truck<br>
M-m-m-mouldy garbage truck<br>
Eat the truck and driver and his gloves<br>
Nutriciousness<br>
Deliciousness<br>
Worthlessness<br>
