[Verse 1]
Eat your greens, don't forget your beans and celery
Don't forget to bring your fake ID
Eat a bunch of these magnificent
[Chorus]
With sauerkraut, mmmm
Sauerkraut
Eat a grape, a fig, a crumpet too
You'll pump 'em right through, doo-wee-ooo
[Verse 2]
Eat your shoes, don't forget the strings and socks
Even eat the box you bought 'em in
You can eat the truck that brought 'em in
[Chorus]
Garbage truck, mmm
Moldy garbage truck
Eat the truck, the driver and his gloves
Nutritiousness, deliciousness, worthlessness
Eat your greens, don't forget your beans and celery
Don't forget to bring your fake ID
Eat a bunch of these magnificent
[Chorus]
With sauerkraut, mmmm
Sauerkraut
Eat a grape, a fig, a crumpet too
You'll pump 'em right through, doo-wee-ooo
[Verse 2]
Eat your shoes, don't forget the strings and socks
Even eat the box you bought 'em in
You can eat the truck that brought 'em in
[Chorus]
Garbage truck, mmm
Moldy garbage truck
Eat the truck, the driver and his gloves
Nutritiousness, deliciousness, worthlessness
