"Call Any Vegetable (Hybrid Concert)" lyrics - FRANK ZAPPA

[Intro:]
This is a song about vegetables, they keep ya regular
They're real good for you

This is a song about vegetables, they keep you regular, they're real good for ya

Call any vegetable
Call it by name
You gotta call one today
When you get off the train
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
Yeah-eh-hey, the vegetable will respond to you
La-la-ah la-la, the vegetable will respond to you
La-la-ah la-la..

Ruta-bay-ayga, Ruta-bay-ayga
Ruta-bay-ayga, Ruta-bay-ayga
Ruta-bayyyyy..

No one will know
If you don't want to let 'em know
No one will know
'Less it's you that might tell 'em so

Call and they'll come to you
Smiling and covered with dew
Vegetables dream
Vegetables dream
Vegetables dream
Of responding to you

Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your joint while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide?
To hide!
To hide!
To hide!

Shoop shoop, shoop shoop
Shoop shoop, shoop shoop..

FZ: You know, a lot of people don't bother about their friends in the vegetable kingdom. They think, "What can I say? What can a person like myself say unto a vegetable?"

Howard: And right they are

FZ: But the answer is simple, my friends

Howard: What is it?

FZ: Just call, and tell 'em how you feel..

About MUFFINS!
(YEAHH!)
PUMPKINS!
(YEAHH!)
WAX PAPER!
(YEAHH!)
CALEDONIAS, MAHOGANIES and ELBOWS and..
GREEN THINGS IN GENERAL..
And soon: A NEW RAPPORT! You and all your new little green & yellow buddies grooving together! Maintaining your coolness together! Worshipping together in the church of your choice, only in America..

O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of..

God bless America
Land of the..

Call any vegetable
Call it by name
Call one today
When you get off the train

Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
That the vegetable will RESPOND to you

What a pumpkin

Mark: Thank you!

FZ: Thank you. I will make a couple of minor adjustments here before we go into the next song

Mark: You're fired. You're fired... Yes, there he is, back there, "Monster Dick," Aynsley Dunbar!
