IF RED TASTE LIKE STRAWBERRY

If red tastes like strawberry,
blue taste like blueberry
yellow tastes like I dunno
and orange is just an orange

then what about the kiwi
who’s oh so brown and fuzzy
right until you slice him open
and he’s green and juicy inside

Oh oh oh

If red tastes like strawberry,
blue taste like blueberry
whatcha call the purple berry
hanging on the vine

and what about bananas
who turn brown when they get rotten
then get cooked up into loaves of bread
that come out tasting fine

Oh oh oh

i’ve got a bowl of grapes right here
red and seedless for you dear
what’s that you say - it ‘twas unclear
you’d like to put them all into your mouth

I don’t think that’s gonna work
what’s more sounds like it’s bound to hurt
and you don’t want to get no
grape juice on your shirt

speaking of the mango
who’s pit sure likes to tango
when you try to cut around it
and you’re making such a mess

fruit that needs such peeling
is really unappealing
i much prefer the raspberry
who comes already undressed

Oh oh oh….

If red tastes like strawberry,
blue taste like blueberry
yellow tastes like, I dunno -
and orange is just an orange

well mix em all together
and throw em in a blender
then grab a straw for everyone -
but save a little for me
