Lyrics
I'm a carrot, an orange fruit

I'm a carrot, sweet as fruit

I'm a carrot, let me emphasize

I'm a carrot, good for the eyes

I'm a carrot, a carrot

Have me for dinner sometime

I got plenty of good old vegetable vitamin A

Bunches

You can't go wrong if you have me every day

What do you say?

I'm a carrot

A carrot, I'm a carrot

The wonder root

I'm lettuce, soft and green

And I'm lettuce, a fine cuisine

I'm lettuce, leaf or head

I'm lettuce, just chop or shred

I'm lettuce, lettuce

Have me for dinner sometime

I got plenty of good old vegetable vitamin B

I'm the best there is

This is so easy to see

Easy to see

Lettuce, lettuce

I am lettuce

I'm a tomato, juicy and red

I'm a tomato, have me instead

I'm a tomato, the best in taste

I'm a tomato, you gotta try my paste

Tomato, tomato

Have me for dinner sometime

I got plenty of good old vegetable vitamin C

I'm not bad once you get to know me

Get to know me

Tomato, tomato

I'm a tomato

You know, we put down a pretty good beat

Yeah, why don't we get together and form a band?

What will we call it?

How about salad?

Alright!

But what will we wear?

Why, dressing, of course!

Salad, can you hear our crunch?

Salad, let's all munch

Salad, we're lean and keen

Salad, orange, red and green

Salad, salad

Have use for dinner sometime

Oh yeah!

We've got plenty of vitamin A, B, and C (What a team!)

We're not bad

Once you get to know

Me!

Me!

Me!

Salad, salad, we are salad (x2)

You got your vegetable A, B, C

Hey, not so much pepper!
