lyrics

[intro]
yeah.. ain't no shame to be out of shape...
ain't no way to explain the weight...
but we can change what's on the plate!

[verse 1]
hey... hey...!
please, listen to me.
am i wrong if i say we got a problem with the way we eat?
our waists large, brain small; junk food in the jaws of the babies, yeesh!
this is crazy, see...
we spend cash on this awful nutrition,
then we eat it fast in our cars, not our kitchens,
and large companies'll profit from this sickness, man..
we all caught in a prison.
but i got it figured:
it's all about a balance,
so now healthy living is an honorable challenge.
gifts from the earth like the mist from a fountain.
i'll hum a love ballad for my lunch salad!

[chorus]
and y'all could hum along cause the song is true
if you wanna get strong, gotta watch what you chew
I choose vegetables and fruits
choose vegetables and fruits
y'all could sing along cause the song is true
if you wanna get strong, gotta watch what you chew
i only choose vegetables and fruits

[verse 2]
i choose mad lettuce, kale, mesclun, arugula,
red and white cabbages, celery, cucumbers
broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, ginger
onions, garlic, peppers, spinach
avocados and olives, and apples, and some cashews
raisins, and tomatoes, and radishes, and pistachios
oil and vinegar as dressing for a finisher
wait - before you dig in just maybe you wanna mix it up - great.
it look delicious, it's proper for lunch and dinner
it's the salad that you needed all along but wasn't missing
we could battle the sickness of all this bad food
with two main weapons: fruits and vegetables.

[chorus]
