The Lyrics
I taste a lemon, my tongue's feeling stung
I never taste a lime 'cause I don't want my uvula to shrink
Tamarind looks to me like some dung
The pommelo tastes worse than a ruby red grapefruit, I think
I started thinking 'bout carrot sticks
Hoping to be a vegetarian who still loves chocolate
But only one fruit never makes me sick... nope, it's not a granny smith apple
It has plenty of vitamins, particularly C
It even does look much like an Asian peach to me
I rather taste that apricot
Why not waste some time eating lots of grapes all day?
Back when I was a little kid
Each day I used to eat 27 pounds of strawberries
I know I'm smart, not yet stupid
As sure as green beans never harmed my taste buds like a blueberry
My new favorite fruit, here's a hint: It's not green, pink, or powder blue
I can eat it raw or make a juice out of it
Even though it's popular for having a center pit
I'm gonna taste that apricot
Why not waste some time eating lots of pears all day?
Durians? That's even not my style!
I wouldn't get to crave very dried dates if I were you
Or worse yet, too much green bananas, 'nuff to make me puke
I rather taste that apricot
I'm gonna taste that apricot
What in blazes? I'll eat apricot
Why not eat lots of apple fritters and banana bread all day?
I never taste a lime 'cause I don't want my uvula to shrink
Tamarind looks to me like some dung
The pommelo tastes worse than a ruby red grapefruit, I think
I started thinking 'bout carrot sticks
Hoping to be a vegetarian who still loves chocolate
But only one fruit never makes me sick... nope, it's not a granny smith apple
It has plenty of vitamins, particularly C
It even does look much like an Asian peach to me
I rather taste that apricot
Why not waste some time eating lots of grapes all day?
Back when I was a little kid
Each day I used to eat 27 pounds of strawberries
I know I'm smart, not yet stupid
As sure as green beans never harmed my taste buds like a blueberry
My new favorite fruit, here's a hint: It's not green, pink, or powder blue
I can eat it raw or make a juice out of it
Even though it's popular for having a center pit
I'm gonna taste that apricot
Why not waste some time eating lots of pears all day?

Or worse yet, too much green bananas, 'nuff to make me puke
I rather taste that apricot
I'm gonna taste that apricot
What in blazes? I'll eat apricot

Lots of potential with the title, but I had a hard time matching the words to the original song even when playing the song while I read your lyrics. Could just be me, I guess, but I really did like what you were going for here. Keep it up. :)
