I don't want no broccoli
I don't want no celery
I can't eat a plate of black eyed peas
I can't stand the sight of collard greens
Mama, Mama it ain't your fault
Blame the lord if you need a cause
I was borne with a sugar jaw
Listen closely and you'll hear it call
Can you cook me some candy please?
A snicker doodle would be fine by me
A fat Twinkie bigger than my sleeve
Would hold me over for half a week
Can you make me some peppermint
Hot chocolate or a raisonette
Milk duds would be the safest bet
For a recipe without regret
Who cares about asparagus?
Vegetables will be the end of us
Most of them taste just like rust
I'd rather have a spoon of dirt and dust
Mama, Mama ain't nothing wrong
To want your child to grow big and strong
But don't make me beg all night long
And sing another line of this old song
Can you cook me some candy please?
A snicker doodle would be fine by me
A fat Twinkie bigger than my sleeve
Would hold me over for half a week
Can you make me some peppermint
Hot chocolate or a raisonette
Milk duds would be the safest bet
For a recipe without regret
