(Don’t give me That) Broccoli
solo -
Now listen, Nice Lady
I don’t want to be unfair,
And I know you try to do your best.
I appreciate the fact that you really do care,
But I have a
Most important request.
solo-
Please listen can you listen,
Won’t you listen to me?
I’d rather that you never
Give me….broccoLEE.
Please don’t give me
Any broccoli.
Chorus
Do-on’t give me that
BroccoLEE. Uh-oh-oh.
Do-on’t give me that BROCColi.
You tell me it can’t hurt me
To take one little bite, but I’m
Taking no chances tonight.
solo -
You always try to tell me
That it’s good for me,
If I want to grow up
Big and strong.
But how can I eat something
That looks just like a tree?
That can’t be right.
It has got to be wrong
Choir
Oh! Don’t give me that.
Oh! Don’t give me that.
Oh! Don’t give me that
B-R-O-C-C-O-L-I (ee-I-ee-I-ee-I-ee-i…)
solo -
You know I’m not the
only one who feels this way.
The popularity of brocc’li
Is low.
When people come to dinner,
If it’s broccoli day, they say,
“Thank you but we
really must go.”

Well okay,
