Lyrics
PIE!
Can't you see that skinny little string bean waving at you?
A big ol' sweet potato's doin' the ol' soft shoe
Cauliflower's calling wantin' you to play
But you just turn your little nose up and you look away
But you can't get by
No, you'll never grow high
If all you ever eat,
All you ever eat is pie!
I see a trail of crumbs followin' you
Your fingertips have turned a very berry shade of blue
And all around the kitchen all I see are tins
I think you missed a little bit there on your chin
You can't get by
You'll never grow high
If all you ever eat,
All you ever eat is pie!
Who wouldn't want a world where your dreams come true
Like a big rock candy mountain covered in gumdrop dew
Sippin' lemonade right from a stream
Sittin' in the shade and workin' on a Boston Cream
But you can't get by
You'll never grow high
If all you ever eat,
All you ever eat is pie!
