Ripe Bananas And Brussel Sprouts

by Dean Friedman


Ripe Bananas and Brussel Sprouts
That’s what my life’s about
And to the world I sing and shout:
Ripe Bananas and Brussel Sprouts

I eat them every day.
I don’t care what people say.
They make a fine soufflé
I like them best that way.

Though some may say, p’shaw’.
It’s not against the law.
Sometimes I eat them raw.
To exercise my jaw!

Ripe Bananas and Brussel Sprouts
That’s what my life’s about
And to the world I sing and shout:
Ripe Bananas and Brussel Sprouts

I know that there are those that cry out in dismay,
‘How on earth do you suppose, he turned out this way?’

I keep them in a sack
I carry on my back.
And when I have a food attack,
I eat them for a snack.

I know no one disputes,
Their many attributes.
There are no substitutes,
For vegetables and fruits.

Ripe Bananas and Brussel Sprouts
That’s what my life’s about
And to the world I sing and shout:
Ripe Bananas and Brussel Sprouts
