Electric blue is the color of Florida How do I know? I've tested it out I've gone down there in my black tuxedo, didn't work Went down in my blue one and all the people flocked to me Instantly They said sir, are you a travelling man? I said I'm a travelling man, but I don't have anything to sell Nothing to sell, except myself The man looked at me funny He said sir, I believe we're at odds here But friend, I don't have any problem with that Because I believe in individuality And in Florida, the individuality can all seem a little overwhelming The palm trees branch out in many different directions As do peoples lives down there A lot of people are from New York City Lot of people are from Akron, Ohio Some people are from Skokie Me? I'm a man of the world There's a lot of talk about a global village I prefer the global village of Florida Bat’s Taxi Smooth Ah yeah Thanks a lot Barbie For laying it down like it is man Like it is man This song goes out to the yellow Taxi Mainly, St. Petersburg FLA Bat's Taxi, man Bat's Taxi forever, yo This one also goes out to my man Phil Collins Man, cuz he knows you can't hurry love baby So let me sing this one to you: I'm on the tip like the black bean dip My taxi moves me like the Love Boat ship does When I'm right on, I'm the first to admit That my lyrical presence is slammin' And I got my cab And that's all good son And I got my cab And that's all good son Let me sing Ring a ding ding ding a langa Slice up the manga Serve up the pie The happiness pie I got mine I got me the hang of this thing Yellow cab is singing yabadabadoo Do it like Danza Do it like Danzig The dark chimpanza swings from the mic Do what he like Huetz Mike Flintstone Barney Ranza The workbell rings I start to sing Doo wa diddy diddy like Manfred the Manza Do what I canza To make ends meata Throw mama from a train like Danny Devita Judd Hirsch Reaga, my role model Got as much good advice As De Palma’s got the waddle Super model They don't cuddle They too busy swiggin from a 3 liter bottle of Diet coke Soap on the rope Like on Father's Day Old Spice, big boat Now I got a paycheck Citibank account Gonna buy some presents With my allowance Like a toy or something Or maybe a float Or maybe a goat Or a new peacoat Or maybe some Halls to soothe my throat I got a hunch that the Brady's bunch Ali’s punch like the Captain’s Crunch If I don't get hungry then I don't get lunch But I get busy And I got my cab And that's all good son And I got my cab And that's all good son Wait wait wait one second I noticed something great I used the word meata 2 times on this tape Oh yeah that's a first I know you're all aware I'm a lyric Einstein E=mc2 How bout this, I'll take your dare You got my back Barbie Smooth?

That sounds great It was a totally healthy day But something crazy happened Tomato, keep on rappin' Well, after my meal, I started to feel kinda weird (like Marv Albert) My skin started turning green (Little Sprout) And my body feeling lean (Kate Moss) I shrunk to about 2% And my bones turned into stems And as my body jilted I felt myself get wilted Oh this is beyond belief Yeah i became a lettuce leaf I dove into the salad (backflip) And swam amongst the dressing (Paul Newman’s) I rode atop a carrot (Lone Ranger) With the pepper pieces pressing (rotor!) Up against the side of the bowl And the chickpeas as good as gold (gold records) In my ears they started ringing As the ears of corn start singing They sang the song of hope And this is how it goes I think it's so groovy now that people are finally getting together I think it's wonderful and that people are finally getting together I said oh corn oh corn oh corn I really like that song I said oh corn oh corn oh corn (corn!) I really like that song Oh yeah that corn can sing, ah let me do my thing I think it's so groovy now that people are finally getting together I think it's wonderful and that people are finally getting together So what happened next?

Whisper in my ear Tell me how much you love me On a sunny day Yo man, (who me?) good grief so didja get on the basil leaf Well let's just say I tried (really?) lettuce don't move in stride But I made it to her hill (way up there) And tasted chlorophyll (green green gold) A photosynthesis reaction (green green gold) Is some prime satisfaction (can’t get no) My CO2 her H2O Made the red wine blush The onion peeled off all it's skin And jumped the orange crush (BOOM!) Oh my god, Broccoli Rabe Oh my god, Broccoli Rabe Boing Oh my god, Broccoli Rabe Oh my god, Broccoli Rabe Then my leaves start to sprout The end became my mouth (what’s goin on?) The stems became my limbs (small, small) And I felt myself begin (small, small) To grow back into me (medium, medium) I sprouted eyes to see (medium, medium) My body was back to size (bigger, bigger) From beneath me I heard cries (bigger, waaaaaahhhh!) Of the helpless vegetables Damn I crushed the salad bowl I stepped away to see The sad plants under me As they lay there silently I thought bout basil leaf And the love she gave me And the corn sweet melody It's so groovy now that people are finally getting together Think it's wonderful and that people are finally getting together Man that was some ordeal Barbie it was for real How did it feel to be a plant I want to describe it but I can't Let's just say it's comfortable On top the salad bowl Singing with the corn Come on man, sing their song I think it's so groovy now that people are finally getting together I think it's wonderful and that people are finally getting together Roar, roaaarrrr!
