You've Gotta Eat Your Spinach, Baby (from "Poor Little Rich Girl") Lyrics

Pardon me did I hear you say Spinach - Spinach

I represent all the kids of the nation
Who sent me to see you about it
I bring a message from the kids of the nation
To tell you we can do without it

Kindly listen to me
I'm not alone in my plea
There are dozens and dozens and dozens of us
Nephews and nieces and cousins of us
They want me to say - Hallelujah Hallelujah

No Spinach, take away that awful greenery
No Spinach, give us lots of jelly beanery
We positively refuse to budge
We'd like lollipops, we like fudge
But no Spinach Hosanna

You've got to eat your Spinach baby
No No No No, I'm singing to you
No No No No Hallelujah
Spinach stay away from my door

We'll tell the bogey man
The big big bad bad bogey bogey man
Oh that's just a bluff
You know we don't believe that stuff

You gotta eat your Spinach baby
Children have to do as they are told
Yes Sir, yes Ma'am
Children shouldn't be so very bold
Yes Sir, yes Ma'am
Or you'll grow up to be a meanie when your old
Yes Sir, yes Ma'am

I've want to tell all the kids of the nation
Who sent me to see you about it
Children have to do as they are told
Children shouldn't be so very bold
Or you will be a meanie when you're old
So okay - Spinach
