CALL ANY VEGETABLE CALL IT BY NAME
CALL ONE TODAY WHEN YOU GET OFF THE TRAIN
CALL ANY VEGETABLE AND THE CHANCES ARE GOOD
THAT THE VEGETABLE WILL RESPOND TO YOU

(SOME PEOPLE DON'T GO FOR PRUNES... I DON'T KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS FOUND THAT IF THEY...)

CALL ANY VEGETABLE PICK UP YOUR PHONE
THINK OF A VEGETABLE LONELY AT HOME
CALL ANY VEGETABLE AND THE CHANCES ARE GOOD
THAT A VEGETABLE WILL RESPOND TO YOU

RUTABAGA, RUTABAGA,
RUTABAGA, RUTABAGA,
RUTABAY-Y-Y-Y...
(A PRUNE ISN'T REALLY A VEGETABLE... CABBAGE IS A VEGETABLE...)

NO ONE WILL KNOW
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LET THEM KNOW
NO ONE WILL KNOW
'LESS IT'S YOU THAT MIGHT TELL THEM SO

CALL AND THEY'LL COME TO YOU
SMILING AND COVERED WITH DEW
VEGETABLES DREAM, VEGETABLES DREAM,
VEGETABLES DREAM, OF RESPONDING TO YOU
STANDING THERE SHINY AND PROUD BY YOUR SIDE
HOLDING YOUR JOINT WHILE THE NEIGHBORS DECIDE
WHY IS A VEGETABLE SOMETHING TO HIDE? A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T BOTHER ABOUT THEIR FRIENDS IN THE VEGETABLE KINGDOM. THEY THINK: OH, AH, WHAT CAN I SAY? WHAT CAN A PERSON LIKE MYSELF SAY TO A VEGETABLE? BUT THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE, MY FRIENDS: JUST CALL, AND TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT MUFFINS... PUMPKINS... WAX PAPER... CALEDONIA, MAHOGANIES, ELBOWS... GREEN THINGS IN GENERAL... AND SOON, A NEW RAPPORT... YOU AND YOUR NEW LITTLE GREEN AND YELLOW BUDDIES, GROOVING TOGETHER... OH NO! MAINTAINING YOUR COOLNESS TOGETHER! WORSHIPPING TOGETHER IN THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE... (ONLY IN AMERICA...)

CALL ANY VEGETABLE CALL IT BY NAME
YOU GOTTA CALL ONE TODAY
WHEN YOU GET OFF THE TRAIN
CALL ANY VEGETABLE
AND THE CHANCES ARE GOOD
WOW! THAT THE VEGETABLE WILL RESPOND TO YOU!

OH NO! CAN YOU SEE THEM RESPONDING?
THE PUMPKIN IS BREATHING HARD...H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H--H--H--H--H--H--H--H--H--H--H--H--H!
(WHAT A PUMPKIN!)
