Lyrics Boiled Okra and Spinach - Trout Fishing In America

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face
I got dressed, made my bed, and then I picked up the place
I did what you told me, I didn't whine or cry
I took a nap, never saw time out, now all I can ask is why
Why am I being punished? Have I been so bad?
I sat down to dinner and this is what I had
Boiled okra and spinach, it's dangerous
Fishy fish with a thousand bones, cooked in asparagus
I'd rather eat boogers than black-eyed peas
I'd trade it all for a hamburger or a pizza with double cheese
No anchovies, no pepperonis and no mushrooms
No black olives or any other rabbit food
I've got an idea that's bound to work
You finish the spinach and the
Black-eyed peas then I'll go get dessert
Ice cream or maybe a refrigerated candy bar
I'd scream with joy for a little piece of cake
Vegetables are very good for you
Eat your fish, eat your okra too
Clean your plate, it's easy, it's just a piece of cake
Ice cream or maybe a refrigerated
Candy bar (vegetables are very good for you)
(Eat your fish, eat your okra too)
I'd scream with joy for a little piece of cake
(Clean your plate, it's easy, it's just a piece of cake)
Ice cream or maybe a refrigerated
Candy bar (vegetables are very good for you)
(Eat your fish, eat your okra too)
I'd scream with joy for a little piece of cake
(Lean your plate, it's easy, it's just a piece of cake)
Boiled okra and spinach, it's dangerous
Fishy fish with a thousand bones, cooked in asparagus
I'd rather eat boogers than black-eyes peas
I'd trade it all for a hamburger or a pizza with double cheese
