You may think they are a small, insignificant vegetable, but Formidable Vegetable just LOVES carrots and had to let the world know about it! This is a song about how much they love carrots (and also how much Costa Georgiadis from Gardening Australia loves carrots, too!) featuring a solo by Linsey Pollak aka. Carrot Man who actually plays an actual real-life carrot like a clarinet at the end of the song!
lyrics
I love carrots in the morning
I love carrots in the eve
I love carrots in a salad or a sandwich
I love carrots from their roots to their leaves
Well, I love carrots that are homegrown
Cos they are oh so crunchy sweet
Well, I love carrots, but do you?
Yeah, I love carrots!
They’re just so, so good to eat
Well there’s red carrots, yellow carrots, purple carrots, orange
I find wild carrots when I’m going for a forage
Fresh, baked, steamed, mashed or grated on my porridge
I love carrots, hey!
Well I love carrots that are stumpy,
Twisty, fat or thin or long
What can I say? I love carrots!
So do I, I love carrots!
Well, why don’t we play a carrot in this song?
Hey, check it out, he’s playing a carrot!
Yep, that’s a carrot!
