Hope Hoffman singing with Kittlish about Jenny Jenkins eating her vegetables.
Will you eat beets, oh my dear oh my dear?
Will you eat beets Jenny Jenkins?
Yes I'll eat beets
They're a sweet sweet treat
CHORUS:
I'll buy me a folley rolley tidly toldy seeka double yummy and delicious farm
share
Grow, Jenny Jenkins grow
a turnip
as long as you don't burn it
a cucumber
or two or three or any number
squash
it makes a great goulash
lima beans
that's my favorite kinda bean
brussel sprouts
just as many as you can rustle out
apples
yes a whole stocking cap full
potatoes
i'll eat'em night and day so,
asparagus
here or there or anywhere i guess
parsley
--- hey that's a nice guitar -sley
ending=
Now, what will you eat oh my dear oh my dear?
Now what will you eat Jenny Jenkins?
Well, now it wouldn't hurt to have a little dessert -
Applesauce
Blueberries
strawberry shortcake
AND - Pumpkin pie
Grow, Jenny Jenkins grow
Grow, Jenny Jenkins grow
