Food by The Turtles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hamburgers, cheeseburgers, spaghetti, rice
French fried potatoes and goulash (Food!)

[Verse 2]
Eggs over easy, asparagus spears
Hot dogs and baked beans and sauerkraut

[Verse 3]
Black-bottomed mushrooms and chicken pot pie
Pink lemonade on the Fourth of July

[Bridge]
But there's one thing that we'd gladly doff our shells for
So we present our recipe and wish you well, for

[Interlude]
You take
Two thirds cups of flour
A teaspoon full of salt
A quarter pound of butter
Add an egg and blend it out
Two squares of dark chocolate
Walnuts, pot and sugar
A teaspoon of bakin' powder
Thirty minutes in the heat and it's over
[Verse 4]
Tea, biscuits, tomato soup, ham on rye
Hot apple, pineapple sundae (Food!)

[Verse 5]
Honeydew, artichoke, hearts of lettuce
Buttered bagels and lox, cream cheese, rhubarb (Food!)

[Verse 6]
Peanut butter sandwiches, English muffins
Kumquats, berries, fish, steak and grapefruit

[Verse 7]
Poi, pecan nuts and chocolate mousse, grits, parsnips
And toast, marmalade, shish kebab, turtle soup

[Outro]
(Well, those brownies oughta be just about ready now
Why don't we go have one, hmm?
I mean, really)
