Plant a Radish

Lyrics

[HUCKLEBEE, spoken] How's your garden? [BELLOMY, spoken] Growing! [HUCKLEBEE, spoken] Mine, too [BELLOMY, spoken] So dependable Gardens go on growing [HUCKLEBEE, spoken] Yes, indeed, they do [BELLOMY, spoken] I tell you, I love vegetables [HUCKLEBEE, spoken] It's true. I love them, too [BELLOMY] Plant a radish Get a radish Never any doubt That's why I love vegetables You know what you're about! [HUCKLEBEE] Plant a turnip Get a turnip Maybe you'll get two That's why I love vegetables You know that they'll come through [BELLOMY] They're dependable [HUCKLEBEE] They're befriendable [HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY] They're the best pal a parent's ever known! [BELLOMY] While with children [HUCKLEBEE] It's bewilderin' [HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY] You don't know until the seed is nearly grown [HUCKLEBEE] Just what you've sown [BELLOMY] So, plant a carrot [HUCKLEBEE] Get a carrot [BELLOMY] Not a brussel sprout [HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY] That's why I love vegetables You know what you're about! [BELLOMY] Life is merry [HUCKLEBEE] If it's very [HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY] Vegetarian! A man who plants a garden Is a very happy man! [BELLOMY, spoken] Hey! [HUCKLEBEE] Plant a beanstalk Get a beanstalk Just the same as Jack Then if you don't like it You can always take it back! [BELLOMY] But if your issue Doesn't kiss you Then I wish you luck For once you've planted children You're absolutely stuck! [HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY] Every turnip green Every kidney bean Every plant grows according to the plot [HUCKLEBEE] While with progeny [BELLOMY] It's hodge-podgenee [HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY] For as soon as you think you know what kind you've got [BELLOMY] It's what they're not! [HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY] So plant a cabbage Get a cabbage [HUCKLEBEE] Not a sauerkraut! [HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMYTH] That's why I love vegetables You know what you're about! Life is merry If it's very Vegetarian A man who plants a garden Is a very happy man! [HUCKLEBEE] A vegetari- [BELLOMY] Very merry [HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY] Vegetarian!
