Lyrics

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

With sauerkraut
M-m-m-mhh! Sauerkraut
Eat a grape, a fig, a crumpet, too,
You'll pump 'em right through
Doo-wee-ooo

Eat your shoes
Don't forget the strings
And socks
Even eat the box
Your bought 'em in
You can eat the truck
That brought 'em in

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

FZ: One more soup for the world now!
