The lettuce heads cried, "don't chop us in half"
And they screamed for their vegetable lives
The cook just smiled, and he let out a laugh
And his eyes shone like knives
The cream separated, and the milk was skimmed
And the fork ran away with the spoon
The curtains were drawn, and the lights were dimmed
And music filled the room
A chorus line of new spring chicks
All tender to the taste
One by one jumped into the mouth
Of a hungry King Henry VIII
King Henry
Let me sit here by your side
And tell me
All good things you would confide
I don't mean to seem indelicate
Don't think that I'm ungrateful
But I'd rather be an ally
Than be stuck on your plate, oh, whoa no!
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop, food chew
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop, food chew
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop, food chew (ooh, wah, wah, wah)
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop, food chew (ooh, wah, wah, wah)
The meatmen brang a little loin of lamb
And cut a keg of oaken wood
But we all dined on tofutti and spam
Just as the civilized should
The king and all his cousins made up a baker's dozen
So tell it to the farmer in the dell
To never mind the stuffin' and the feudin' and the fussin'
And the Frog Prince in the well
The fat queen rolled out a peal of a snort
And laughed as the cider got hard
"Off with her head!" the king was quick to retort
And it rolled out across the yard
King Henry
Let me sit here by your side
And tell me
All good things you would confide
I don't mean to seem indelicate
Don't think that I'm ungrateful
But I'd rather be an ally
Than be stuck on your plate, oh, whoa no!
Oh no!
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop, food chew
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop, food chew
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop, food chew (ooh, wah, wah, wah)
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop
Food chew be bop, food chew (ooh, wah, wah, wah)
