The Fantasticks movie - PLANT A RADISH lyrics

<br>

Plant a radish.<br>

Get a radish.<br>

Never any doubt.<br>

That's why I love vegetables;<br>

You know what you're about!<br>

<br>

Plant a turnip.<br>

Get a turnip.<br>

Maybe you'll get two.<br>

That's why I love vegetables;<br>

You know that they'll come through!<br>

<br>

They're dependable!<br>

They're befriendable!<br>

They're the best pal a parent's ever known!<br>

While with children,<br>

It's bewilderin'.<br>

You don't know until the seed is nearly grown<br>

Just what you've sown.<br>

<br>

So<br>

Plant a carrot,<br>

Get a carrot,<br>

Not a Brussels sprout.<br>

That's why I love vegetables.<br>

You know what you're about!<br>

<br>

Life is merry,<br>

If it's very<br>

Vegetarian!<br>

A man who plants a garden<br>

Is a very happy man!<br>

<br>

Plant a beanstalk.<br>

Get a beanstalk.<br>

Just the same as Jack.<br>

Then if you don't like it,<br>

You can always take it back!<br>

<br>

But if your issue<br>

Doesn't kiss you,<br>

Then I wish you luck.<br>

For once you've planted children,<br>

You're absolutely stuck!<br>

<br>

Every turnip green!<br>

Every kidney bean!<br>

Every plant grows according to the plot!<br>

<br>

While with progeny,<br>

It's hodge-podgenee.<br>

For as soon as you think you know what kind you've got,<br>

It's what they're not!<br>

<br>

So<br>

Plant a cabbage.<br>

Get a cabbage.<br>

Not a sauerkraut!<br>

That's why I love vegetables.<br>

You know what you're about!<br>

<br>

Life is merry<br>

If it's very<br>

Vegetarian.<br>

A man who plants a garden<br>

Is a very happy man!<br>

<br>

A vegitari-<br>

Very merry<br>

Vegetarian!<br>

<br>
