Текст песни The Vegetable Song - Steve Goodman

It was late one night by the pale moonlight
All the vegetables gave a spree
They put out a sign that said, "The dancing's at nine"
And all the admissions were free

There was peas and greens and cabbage and beans
It was the biggest crowd you ever did see
And when old man cucumber struck up that number
Well, you should have heard them vegetables scream

Oh, the little turnip top was doin' the backwards flop
The cabbage shook the shimmy and she could not stop
The little red beet shook its feet
The watermelon died of the cockeyed heat

The little tomato, agitator
Shook the shimmy with the sweet potato
And old man garlic dropped dead of the colic
Down at the barnyard dance, this morning
Down at the barnyard dance

Oh the little turnip top was doin' the backwards flop
The cabbage shook the shimmy, would not stop
The little red beet shook its feet
The watermelon died of the cockeyed heat

Little tomato, agitator
Shook the shimmy with the sweet potato
And old man garlic dropped dead of the colic
Down at the barnyard dance, this morning

Down at the barnyard, late this morning
Down at the barnyard dance
