Top Brassica
Broccoli, o broccoli,
I just would like to talk-oli,
Your florets and your stalk-oli,
So tasty, it’s a shock-oli!
And vitamins? You’re chock-oli!
Excuse me if I gawk-oli,
But I would never mock-oli,
Broccoli, you rock-oli!
I just would like to talk-oli,
Your florets and your stalk-oli,
So tasty, it’s a shock-oli!
And vitamins? You’re chock-oli!
Excuse me if I gawk-oli,
But I would never mock-oli,
Broccoli, you rock-oli!
