I digress....new words to an old song...

The Beet Grows On

Chorus:

The beet grows on, the beet grows on

Sun keeps pounding rhythm to the grain

La de da de de, la de da de da

Chemicals were once the rage, uh huh

History has turned the page, uh huh

Organic is the current thing, uh huh

Compost is our newborn king, uh huh

And the beet grows on, the beet grows on

Sun keeps pounding rhythm to the grain

La de da de de, la de da de da

The grocery store's the farmerÂs mart, uh huh

Heirloom crops will fill the carts, uh huh

People keep on tilling up the soil

In summerÂs heat the hardcore gardeners toil. . .

And the beet grows on, the beet grows on

Sun keeps pounding rhythm to the grain

La de da de de, la de da de da

Winter brings us time to reminisce

Sweet spring greens induce a gardenerÂs bliss

Garden springing up on vacant lots

We still cry "hey buddy, have you got a plot?"

And the beet grows on, the beet grows on

Sun keeps pounding rhythm to the grain

La de da de de, la de da de da

IÂm fadingÂ.fadingÂÂÂ.
