lyrics
PICKY EATER
i don’t like the peach ‘cause it’s covered in fuzz
feels like my mouth is all a buzz
buzzin’ with the bugs and the critters i don’t want to chew
i won’t touch my mama’s lavish dishes
stronganoffs or fine knishes i don’t mean to offend but i, but i think i do
I’m just a pick, pick picky little eater I’m just a pick, pick, picky little eater I’m just a pick, pick, picky little eater It’s true
Now the veggies, veggies I can’t hack ‘em no matter how ya boil, steam or stack ’em
they go down then come right back up that very same tube
keep those french fries away from my sour pickle
my chips should never touch pumpernickle
foods should never rub elbows and flavors should never mingle
CHORUS
But I guess I’m not so picky I guess I’m not so shrewd when it comes to the sweeter portion of the menu - anything will do!
well, my mouth is like a safe it’s locked up tight don’t give me a struggle don’t make me fight
don’t make me call a hunger strike you know I’ve got some fortitude
Oh, mama, mama, mama put that airplane away that form of food transportation’s not gonna work today
clampin’ down my gums nothin’ nutritious this way comes
CHORUS
Now mama tries to bribe me with a shiny dime
she says, Thomas, i promise this will taste sublime but my price just went up since the last dinnertime now it’s a quarter to chew
I don’t know how grownups do it but they do they eat things that smell like a cage in the zoo
they chew on things tougher than my daddy’s old shoes
snails, frog legs, bird’s nest soup liverwurst, tongue, yuck! pig’s knuckles, shark’s fin soup, jellyfish, 1,000 year old eggs P.U.!
