Vegetables

	"Vegetables" comes from the shattered Smile project, and may be the song on Smiley Smile which is the least scarred by its morphing into a honed-down Beach Boys song. This is one of Brian Wilson's most catchy and memorable melodies, matched with lightweight, tongue-in-cheek lyrics extolling the joyous virtue of eating your vegetables. The Smiley Smile version of this sing features Alan Jardine in an engaging lead vocal, and gives the added bonus of the legendary Paul McCartney contributing flawless percussions--by crunching down on a carrot!

Lyrics

I'm gonna be round my vegetables
I'm gonna chow down my vegetables
I love you most of all
My favorite vege-table

If you brought a big brown bag of them home
I'd jump up and down and hope you'd toss me a carrot

I'm gonna keep well my vegetables
Cart off and sell my vegetables
I love you most of all
My favorite vege-table
Oh oh taba vega vegel

I tried to kick the ball but my tenny flew right off
I'm red as a beet 'cause I'm so embarassed

Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do
Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do
Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do
Oh yeah
Oh badumday oh dum do dum de dooby do
Oh badumday oh dum do dum de dooby do

Chomp chomp chomp chomp do-do-do do-do-do
Bop bop bop bop do-do-do do-do-do

I know that you'll feel better
When you send us in
Your letter an'
Tell us the name of your
Your favorite vege-table

I know that you'll feel better
When you send us in
Your letter an'
Tell us the name of your
Your favorite vege-table
