Green Green Gold
What's up my man
Tomato, not much guy what up
Well, not much here going on
Except the usual stuff (rough!)
I got a haircut yesterday (at Astor)
I worked all day today (at IMPATH)
I'm going to Boston this weekend (dirty water)
To see my sister and her husband (Eddie)
And you, how you been?
Well, I been alright, eleven
I been hanging here and there (Brooklyn)
Eating apples, peaches, pears, and prunes
Oh yeah? That sounds good (healthy)
Yeah I been eating healthy food
And I've been eating really good
Well I've been eating healthy too
I had a banana and a muffin (breakfast)
And some salad and some stuffing (Thanksgiving)
And some chickpeas and spaghetti (Italian)
With some hummas pita bready (6th Street)
And some lowfat kinda sauce (Weight Watchers)
On my mixed up salad toss (Salad Spinner)
Oh yeah? 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?
Well I'll tell ya about the rest
I was singing with the corn, but feeling kinda torn (Brooklyn… party)
Because a little basil leaf was starting to flirt with me (Brooklyn… party)
I said hey there little one, I'll kiss you when I'm done (Brooklyn… party)
Singing salad songs, but for now you sing along (Brooklyn… party)
Baby baby, what do you say?
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!
Like the motherfuckin dragon
You can't keep on slackin off
