(Don’t Give Me That) Broccoli Songtext
von The Phenomenauts

Don′t give me that broccoli
Uh-oh-oh
Don't give me that broccoli
Yes, I know I′ve never tried it
But it doesn't look right
I want no broccoli tonight

Now listen, Nice Lady
I don't wanna be unfair
And I know you try to do your best
I appreciate the fact that you really do care
But I have a most important request
Please, listen
Can you listen?
Won′t you listen to me?
I′d rather you never give me
Broccoli
Please, don't, don′t give me any broccoli


Don't give me that broccoli
Uh-oh-oh
Don′t give me that broccoli
You tell me it can't hurt me to take one little bite
But I′m taking no chances tonight

You always try to tell me that it's good for me
If I wanns grow up big and strong
But how can I eat something that looks like a tree?
That can't be right
It has got to be wrong
Oh, don′t give me that
Oh, don′t give me that
Oh, don't give me that
B-R-O-C-C-O-L-I (E-I-E-I-E-I)

You know I′m not the only one that feels this way
The popularity of broccoli is low
When people come to dinner
If it's Broccoli Day, they say
"Thank you, but we really must go"


You can hear in down in Texas
"Darling, I′m goving back the broccoli you gave me"
You can hear it in Québec
"Ne me donnez pas ces brocolis-là"
You can hear it off in Italy too
"Oh, Broccoli miei, non vi amo"
Yeah, and even Cow Planet, if you're very high tech
"No broccoli"
You can listen to me tell it to you
Don′t, don't give me that broccoli! (Uh-oh-oh)
Don't, don′t give me that broccoli! (Please!)
Don′t, don't give me that broccoli!

Oh, please (Oh, please)
Not ever (Not ever)
No never (No never)
Never, never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

Okay, I′m gonna try it
But it isn't on my diet
An I know I′m going to hate it
Uh-oh
I ate it

Yum
