Call Any Vegetable

(albüm: Just Another Band From L.A. - 1972)

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
Yeah...
The vegetable will respond to you
The vegetable will respond to you

Call any vegetable
Pick up your phone
Think of a vegetable
Lonely at home
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
Yeah...
The vegetable will respond to you
The vegetable will respond to you

Rutabaga
Rutabaga
Rutabaga
Rutabaga
Rutabay-y-y-y...

No one will know
If you don't want to let 'em know
No one will know
'Less it's you that might tell 'em 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?
To hide!
To hide!
To hide!

You know, a lot of people don't bother about their friends in the vegetable kingdom. They, they think, "What can I say?" Some times they think, "Where can I go?"

Where can I go to get my poodle clipped in Burbank?

At Ralph's vegetarian poodle clipping, where you can come this...

Where can I go to get organic vaseline for my intercourse?

At Bob and Ray's Swahili restaurant, where you can come this close...

Where can I go to get my jeans embroidered in Fullerton?

At Jeans, at Jeans North where nothing fits

Where can I go to get my zipper repaired in Hollywood?

Who gives a fuck anyway!

Where can I go to get my speakers fixed?

Hey! At Jack La...

Where can I go to get my exit lights?

At Jack La Lanne Hamburgers on 312 Whittier Boulevard

Where can I go to get my stomach pumped? Where can I go to collapse?

Adee do

Questions, questions, questions, flooding into the mind of the concerned young person today. Ah, but it's a great time to be alive, ladies and gentlemen. And that's the theme of our program for tonight. It's so fucking great to be alive is what the theme of our show is tonight, boys and girls. And I wanna tell ya, if there is anybody here who doesn't believe that it is fucking great to be alive, I wish they would go now, because this show will bring them down so much.

God bless America
Land that I...
