The autumn's good for pumpkins,
Though apples don't approve.
The trees that they've been living on
now forces them to move,
And rudely lets them fall
and sends them quick to their demise
Without so much a bon voyage or even a goodbye. - Of Montreal ("Springtime is the Season")

Oh my, Miss BA, the choppin' broccoli song was the first one I actually thought of, but I didn't think anyone would know what I was talking about.

cheesey, cheesey)
(this is a song about vegetables, they keep ya regular
They're real good for yo)

Call any vegetable call it by name
Call one today when you get off the train
Call any vegetable and the chances are good
Aw, 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
Covered with dew
Vegetables dream, of responding to you

Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your hand while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide?

- Frank (of course) Zappa

From Ray Stevens' "Ahab The Arab" -

There she was, friends, lyin' there in all her radiant
beauty, eating on a raisin, grape, apricot, pomegranate,
bowl of chittlin's, two bananas, three Hershey bars,
sipping on a RC co-cola listenin' to her transistor,
watchin' the Grand Ole Opry on the tube, readin' a Mad
magazine while she sung, "Does your chewing gum lose
it's flavor?"

''I know, it's only sausage roll, but I like it...''

"I don't want French fried potatoes, red ripe tomatoes,
I'm never satisfied
I want the frim fram sauce with the oss and fay
with shifafa on the side."
