Call any vegetable
Call it by name
You gotta call one today
When you get off the train
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
Yeah-eh-hey, the vegetable will respond to you
La-la-ah la-la, the vegetable will respond to you
La-la-ah la-la . . . oh
Call any vegetable
Pick up your phone
Think of a vegetable
Lonely at home
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
Yeah-eh-hey, the vegetable will respond to you
La-la-ah la-la, the vegetable will respond to you
La-la-ah la-la . . .
Rutabaga, Rutabaga,
Rutabaga, Rutabaga,
Rutabay-y-y-y . . .
No one will know
If you don't want to let 'em know
No one will know
'Less it's you that might tell 'em so
Call and they'll come to you
Smiling and covered with dew
Vegetables dream,
Vegetables dream,
Vegetables dream,
Of responding to you
Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your joint while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide?
To hide!
To hide!
To hide!
Shoo-shoo Shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo Shoo-shoo . . .

Ah, but it's a great time to be alive, ladies and gentlemen.
And that's the theme of our program for tonight.
It's so FUCKING GREAT to be alive! Is what the theme of our show is tonight, boys and girls.
And I wanna tell ya, if there is anybody here who doesn't
believe that it is FUCKING GREAT to be alive, I wish they would go now, because
