Green Onions lyrics
Heard about the Jolly Green Giant
(Potatoes)
He's so big and mean
(Artichoke hearts)
Well, he stands there laughin'
With his hands on his hips
And then he hits you with a can of beans
Well, he lives down there in his valley
(Brussels sprouts)
The cat stands tall and green
(Spinach)
Well, he ain't no prize
And there's no women his size
And that's why the cat's so mean
One day he left his valley pad
I mean to say this cat was mad
Now lookin' 'round he was [Incomprehensible]
And then he ran into an Amazon
Well, this changed his whole complexion
(Broccoli)
He had never seen such a beautiful sight
(Corn)
Then he looked at her and she looked at him
And she almost passed out from fright
He looked at her thought, what a dilly
He touched her once, she slapped him silly
This was something he had never sensed
He looked at her as she commenced
"Now listen, pal, this ain't no fluke
I can't see goin' with a big green kook"
You've heard about the Jolly Green Giant
(Eggplant)
Don't let his troubles cross your mind
(Celery stalks)
He couldn't get Sally so went back to his valley
The cat was color-blind
Carrots
Canned beans
Heard about the Jolly Green Giant
