The Lyrics

Ah, the classic battle between parent and child to get the latter to eat what's on their plate! All lyrics in brackets are from said child, the rest are the parents.
I know, I know
You have this notion
Which will boil until explosion, ahaha
That though your hunger keeps growing
You can keep up your tantrum throwing
Listen, I'm not joking
If you don't start eating
While it's hot and steaming
You won't get any more snacks in, you know it's true
So open wide and put that in

Come on, dear, eat your asparagus
Had all the meats, left asparagus
If you want sweets, eat asparagus
(Don't wanna eat that asparagus)

Don't be a pain, give it a try
(Just gonna spit it in your eye)
Look at it, so healthy and green
(It's the same shade as my face, yeesh)

We think you should eat asparagus
It's really good, this asparagus
One bite, you're hooked on asparagus
(Don't like their look, screw asparagus)

You need to finish your whole plate
(Gimme a sec, there'll be no trace)
I know that look, you'll just stash them
(Thirty-third time ain't the charm, then)

You've never tried this asparagus
(That's dead to rights, no asparagus)
So you might like this asparagus
(That's a nice try, screw asparagus)

Lalalalala, asparagus
Asparagus
Lalalalala, asparagus
Asparagus

There'll be no biscuits or cake slice
(In a few days, it'll be nice)
Why all this stubbornness from you?
(Maybe it's cause I'm thirty-two?)

(Grown adults can ditch asparagus) ha!
(If they can't stand that asparagus)
(Did you two have some asparagus?)
Nevermind that, eat asparagus

(I thought as much, this is so dumb)
Will you try it if we have one (I might, might just)
(If you also let me have beer) hey!
That'd be fine, we did walk here

And a happy ending, yay! BTW, I know that I technically I could've put this in "misc" as the play came out in 1957, but I'm basing this of the 60's film version, so yeah.
