Vegetation
Migration
(Celery Stalks Intro)
Nosati/Simmons 1988
| I don't relish the thought
of going out to my garden at midnight.
Could it be my fertile imagination? Maybe I yam just hearing
things, boy am I in a pickle, I must squash my fears endive
got to find out what's there in the darkness or I won't get a moments peas.
Look, all of the vegetables in the garden are uprooting them selves hoe
what a harrowing experience, I'm sure it won't amount to a hill of
beans, but my problems are mushrooming; an army of vegetables,
a scallion battalion, is on the rampage, under the command of Colonel
Corn (with the husky voice and the silky tones) sure
he's a little wet behind the ears, but shucks he's the principle
stalk holder. Who planted this seed of discontent? From where
did it stem? Even with my green thumb I can't put my finger
on it, but I know the soil is tired of being treated like dirt! Can
you dig it? |
Celery Stalks
Sigman/Harris/Bradley
(Additional lyrics by Al Simmons)
Celery stalks at midnight,
Lurking in the moonlight,
What's this funny nightmare all about?
Celery stalks at midnight,
I'm glad I've got my flashlight,
I can see the broccoli juggling brussel sprouts.
It's like a bad dream,
A crazy sort of bad dream.
Must have been something
That I ate no doubt.
Look at that potato putting on his shades,
Claims he won them in a raffle,
Now he's climbing a tree,
Flirtin' with an apple.
What's causing this vegetation migration?
The tomato is far ahead of the others calling,
"Ketchup, ketchup, where have you bean?
Let's get to the root of this problem.
Tell the flowers to get out of their beds."
But the romaine held her ground crying,
"Leaf me alone, lettuce wait,
I don't carrot what you say,
Something might turnip,
You and the cabbage go on a-head."
All eyes are on the potato, and the beat...goes on
It's like a bad dream
A crazy sort of mad dream
Must have been something that I ate
No doubt.
Celery stalks at midnight
Lurking in the moonlight
What's this funny nightmare all about?
"Its some sort of evil garden plot"!
