Plant a Radish Lyrics by Leo Burmester, Martin Vidnovic

The Fantasticks (The New Off-Broadway Recording)

2006

[HUCKLEBEE, spoken]
How's your garden?
[BELLOMY, spoken]
Growing!
[HUCKLEBEE, spoken]
Mine, too
[BELLOMY, spoken]
So dependable
Gardens go on growing
[HUCKLEBEE, spoken]
Yes, indeed, they do
[BELLOMY, spoken]
I tell you, I love vegetables
[HUCKLEBEE, spoken]
It's true. I love them, too
[BELLOMY]
Plant a radish
Get a radish
Never any doubt
That's why I love vegetables
You know what you're about!
[HUCKLEBEE]
Plant a turnip
Get a turnip
Maybe you'll get two
That's why I love vegetables
You know that they'll come through
[BELLOMY]
They're dependable
[HUCKLEBEE]
They're befriendable
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
They're the best pal a parent's ever known!
[BELLOMY]
While with children
[HUCKLEBEE]
It’s bewilderin'
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
You don't know until the seed is nearly grown
[HUCKLEBEE]
Just what you've sown
[BELLOMY]
So, plant a carrot
[HUCKLEBEE]
Get a carrot
[BELLOMY]
Not a brussel sprout
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
That's why I love vegetables
You know what you're about!
[BELLOMY]
Life is merry
[HUCKLEBEE]
If it's very
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
Vegetarian!
A man who plants a garden
Is a very happy man!
[BELLOMY, spoken]
Hey!
[HUCKLEBEE]
Plant a beanstalk
Get a beanstalk
Just the same as Jack
Then if you don't like it
You can always take it back!
[BELLOMY]
But if your issue
Doesn't kiss you
Then I wish you luck
For once you've planted children
You're absolutely stuck!
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
Every turnip green
Every kidney bean
Every plant grows according to the plot
[HUCKLEBEE]
While with progeny
[BELLOMY]
It's hodge-podgenee
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
For as soon as you think you know what kind you've got
[BELLOMY]
It's what they're not!
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
So plant a cabbage
Get a cabbage
[HUCKLEBEE]
Not a sauerkraut!
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMYTH]
That's why I love vegetables
You know what you're about!
Life is merry
If it's very
Vegetarian
A man who plants a garden
Is a very happy man!
[HUCKLEBEE]
A vegetari-
[BELLOMY]
Very merry
[HUCKLEBEE & BELLOMY]
Vegetarian!
