I was really, really, really, really, really hungry,
So I asked my mom if I could have a snack.
She gave me a stick of celery to hold me off till dinner,
But I just frowned and then I gave it back.
(refrain)
But my mama shook her head. She looked at me and said,
“Is there something else you’d rather have instead?”
I thought for a moment, then I said:

I’d rather have a ten colored rainbow on a hamburger bun,
With a piece of a cloud and a slice of the sun.
Or some moon flavored pancakes with some syrup from mars,
With a sky-flavored milkshake and a big bowl of stars!”
(refrain)
“Ahhhh, I’d rather have bunny ears on bagels with hummingbird beaks,
Or frog belly pie and some butterfly cheeks,
Or kitty-ear cookies or salamander soup,
Or lizard-lip licorice or puppy-tail stew.”
(refrain)
“I’d like to eat a big roasted rock or some bumble bee burritos,
Or a fried cuckoo clock sprinkled with mosquitoes,
Or dog-nose doughnuts or nanny goat nachos,
Or French fried ice cubes or tiger-toe tacos!”

My mama shook her head and she looked at me and said,
“Are you sure there isn’t something else you’d rather have instead?”

I thought for a moment then I said:
“Ahhh, mama! Could I have a nice stick of celery, please!”
