Aurora Hayes - The Dreadful Salad Blues Lyrics

In the kitchen, Mom's whipping up a treat,
Chopping up veggies, something healthy to eat.
But Billy and Sue, they start to whine,
"Not that dreadful salad, not this time!"
Oh, the dreadful salad blues, we don't want greens,
Lettuce and tomatoes, it's not the stuff of dreams.
Cucumbers and radish, give us a fright,
In the dreadful salad blues, we put up a fight.
Mom tossed in some carrots, crisp and bright,
Billy and Sue, they both took flight.
Hidin' in the closet, under the bed,
"Not that awful salad," they both said.
Oh, the dreadful salad blues, we don't want greens,
Lettuce and tomatoes, it's not the stuff of dreams.
Cucumbers and radish, give us a fright,
In the dreadful salad blues, we put up a fight.
Dad came home tired and dirty,
He said, finish your dinner, it's almost 8:30.
"Eat up kids, it's good for you,"
But they'd rather eat some dog food.
Billy fed the lettuce to his pet frog,
Sue tried to sneak it out to the dog.
Mom sighed and shook her head,
"Tomorrow we're having broccoli instead!"
Oh, the dreadful salad blues, we don't want greens,
Lettuce and tomatoes, it's not the stuff of dreams.
Cucumbers and radish, give us a fright,
In the dreadful salad blues, we put up a fight.
So if you're a kid and salads make you cry,
Just remember, you're not alone, don't be shy.
The dreadful salad blues are here to stay,
But maybe, just maybe, you'll like it someday.
So if you're a kid and salads make you cry,
Just remember, you're not alone, don't be shy.
The dreadful salad blues are here to stay,
But maybe, just maybe, you'll like it someday.
