Veggie Time - Weems Works

It’s time, that time, oh yeah
It’s time, let’s dine
They’ve been doing their thing for so long
Puling minerals out of the ground
And that’s real key for you and me to get strong
Living well, sticking around
Healthy soil it means a whole lot
For what ends up in the roots
Could be spinach maybe a kumquat
Same thing happens with fruits
I try to get them in season
And use them when they’re still fresh
Rinsing, dicing, chopping or slicing
Helps me to fuel a good sesh
Benefits flow when we eat them
You know I’m proof that they’re real
And worth what we do to get them
Overall? Yeah a good deal
The work to grow each seed and row
The time to know and savor the subtle flavors oh
For young and old made hot or cold red, green, and gold
They’re vegetables
Arugula, kale, asparagus, carrots
Bok choy, celery, onions, and beets
Watercress, chard, sweet potatoes, parsnips
Cauliflower, peas, broccoli, and leeks
Friendly farmers selling them at markets
Or you can get a CSA share
Maybe garden and really work it
Grow a huge pumpkin, take it to the fair
No processed junk assembled in a factory
Designed to get us all hooked
All that marketing won’t attract me
Wrong ingredients last time I looked
Real food tends to have a short shelf life
And not only profit a store
Versus stuff that comes with a stealth price
What we’re choosing now is worth more
The work to grow each seed and row
The time to know and savor the subtle flavors oh
For young and old made hot or cold red, green, and gold
They’re vegetables
Use them any way you like, steamed, cold, perhaps stir-fried
Alone or mixed in, it’s alright
At any meal or snack, the best foods love us back
And show us what shared health attracts
Bet it’s worth it
Okay let’s bring it down
I think you know what time it is
This is how we do it in my house
I’d like some vegetables, more vegetables, please
It’s veggie time
I’d like some vegetables, more vegetables, please
Yeah, veggie time
I’d like some vegetables, more vegetables, please
Still veggie time
I’d like some vegetables
You know it’s always veggie time
Nice
