Eat Your Books (And Read Your Vegetables)
By: Tom Seley

A
They say a good book will rot your brains          …Wait a minute
Oh yeah, I forgot, that’s television and video games.
They say that ice cream and cake will make me grow up so big and strong…Wait a minute
Oh yeah, I should eat fruits and vegetables all day long


A
I am so clearly confused
Bm
But when I get like this
            A
There’s a snappy jingle that I like to use

A
Eat your books and read your vegetables
A
Take my advice if you wanna be respectable
A
Pick your nose and never do your chores
D7
Wait a minute now there’s a little bit more
D
Study really hard for your video games
E
And call your little brother all kinds of names…oh that’s not right

A
They say I should stay inside and never go out to play…Wait a minute
If I stay inside all day, my muscles will waste away
They say I should I pick on my friends as often as I can…Wait a minute
If I pick on my friends they’ll probably leave and not come back again

A
I am so clearly confused
Bm
But when I get like this
            A
There’s a snappy jingle that I like to use


A
Eat your books and read your vegetables
A
Take my advice if you wanna be respectable
A
Pick your nose and never do your chores
D
Wait a minute now there’s a little bit more
D7
Study really hard for your video games
      E
And call your little brother all kinds of names…oh that’s not right


A
Oh no, I really made a mess of things this time…Wait a minute
If I concentrate I know all words will just fall in line
I’ll just say everything I know and I’m sure it’ll turn out fine...that’s the ticket
Everybody can help out, we’re all gonna count down from 9


8, 7, 6, 5
4, 3, 2, 1


Read your books and eat your vegetables
Take my advice if you wanna be respectable
Do your chores and never pick your nose
Yeah, I got it now.  I know that’s how it goes
Study really hard cuz school’s not a game
And never call your brother any kinda of names…[amazed] I think I got it that time
