Taking place after Hucklebee and Bellomy make up from their fight early in Act Two, this song sees the two old friends bonding over their shared love of gardening and the difficulties they have faced in raising their children. Vegetables are predictable, as one knows exactly what they have planted a...
[HUCKLEBEE, spoken]
How's your garden?
[BELLOMY, spoken]
Growing!
[HUCKLEBEE, spoken]
Mine, too
[BELLOMY, spoken]
So dependable
Gardens go on growing
[HUCKLEBEE, spoken]
Yes, indeed, they do
[BELLOMY, spoken]
I tell you, I love vegetables
[HUCKLEBEE, spoken]
It's true. I love them, too
[BELLOMY]
Plant a radish
Get a radish
Never any doubt
That's why I love vegetables
You know what you're about!
[HUCKLEBEE]
Plant a turnip
Get a turnip
Maybe you'll get two
That's why I love vegetables
You know that they'll come through
[BELLOMY]
They're dependable
[HUCKLEBEE]
They're befriendable
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
They're the best pal a parent's ever known!
[BELLOMY]
While with children
[HUCKLEBEE]
It’s bewilderin'
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
You don't know until the seed is nearly grown
[HUCKLEBEE]
Just what you've sown
[BELLOMY]
So, plant a carrot
[HUCKLEBEE]
Get a carrot
[BELLOMY]
Not a brussel sprout
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
That's why I love vegetables
You know what you're about!
[BELLOMY]
Life is merry
[HUCKLEBEE]
If it's very
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
Vegetarian!
A man who plants a garden
Is a very happy man!
[BELLOMY, spoken]
Hey!
[HUCKLEBEE]
Plant a beanstalk
Get a beanstalk
Just the same as Jack
Then if you don't like it
You can always take it back!
[BELLOMY]
But if your issue
Doesn't kiss you
Then I wish you luck
For once you've planted children
You're absolutely stuck!
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
Every turnip green
Every kidney bean
Every plant grows according to the plot
[HUCKLEBEE]
While with progeny
[BELLOMY]
It's hodge-podgenee
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
For as soon as you think you know what kind you've got
[BELLOMY]
It's what they're not!
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
So plant a cabbage
Get a cabbage
[HUCKLEBEE]
Not a sauerkraut!
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMYTH]
That's why I love vegetables
You know what you're about!
Life is merry
If it's very
Vegetarian
A man who plants a garden
Is a very happy man!
[HUCKLEBEE]
A vegetari-
[BELLOMY]
Very merry
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
Vegetarian!
