[Verse 1: Kailynn West]
Every time that I get hungry
I want a big bowl of cereal (Mmm...)
A giant candy bar or a donut
I want something sweet for every meal
Some carmel corn and a couple of cupcakes (Delicious!)
4 cookies and 11 milkshakes
A root beer float and some chocolate
A tub of cake frosting
And all of the ice cream I could ever dream of...
(Wait, wait, wait)
- What?
[Chorus: Tony Thaxton]
You can't
You can't
You can't just eat sugar
You have
You have to eat your vegetables first
[Verse 2: Tony Thaxton]
Celery, potatoes, and carrots (Eww...)
Asparagus and broccoli (No way!)
Brussel sprouts, green beans, and spinach
Are all the things that your body needs (Wait, they are?)
They have all the vitamins that will help your body grow big and strong (Oh!)
So the next time you sit down at a meal
Just remember the words to this song
(So vegetables are really good for you?)
- Yeah, and they taste good too!
[Chorus: Tony Thaxton]
You can't
You can't
You can't just eat sugar
You have
You have to eat your vegetables first
You can't
You can't
You can't just eat sugar
You have
You have to eat your vegetables first
[Bridge: Kailynn West & Tony Thaxton]
Ok, so I can't just eat suger?
No way! It'll make you sick!
But I don't have to just eat vegetables, right?
Of course not, Kailynn
You can still have a treat here or there
But it's really important to get your vitamins and nutrients and eat a balanced diet
Okay, I get it now
And honestly... vegetables are pretty tasty
They're not ice cream, but I like 'em!
[Outro: Kailynn West]
I don't want to but I will...
Eat some vegetables at every meal
I don't want to but I will...
Eat some vegetables at every meal
