about

We are what we eat, they say, and
this tune is a light-hearted way to encourage us all to eat more healthfully.

lyrics

Hey Uncle Tony, Go to lunch with me
Veggie Kitchen is the place I’d like to me
Try a little tofu, what do you say?
He said, A little bit of tofu goes a long way
A little bit of tofu goes a long way.

Hand me the sirloin and the apple pie;
Chicken fried. Potatoes mashed.
White bread and butter and lots of jam,
Don’t you forget the corned beef hash.
Don’t you forget the corned beef hash.

Hey Uncle Tony, here’s some brown rice.
Its good for you and it sure tastes nice.
Tony took a forkful, turned to say
A little bit of brown rice goes a long way.
A little bit of brown rice goes a long way.

Hand me . . .

Hey Uncle Tony, here’s a bean sprout,
Full of lots of good things without a doubt.
Tony ate just one, put the rest away,
Said a little bit of bean sprout goes a long way
A little bit of bean sprout goes a long way.

Hand me . . .

Hey uncle Tony I’m afraid you’ll die
If you keep on eating this way
He said everybody’s gotta go sometime
I’m gonna go with a smile on my face
I’m gonna go with a smile on my face.

Hand me . . .


Hey uncle Tony, gonna have the last laugh
Cause I’m gonna write your epitaph
He would still be here today
If he hadn’t pushed the tofu away.

So go easy on the sirloin and the apple pie,
Add a little celery and onion and beans,
Don’t eat quite as much chicken and spuds
Throw in blueberries and walnuts and greens.

A little bit of tofu goes along way
And I want you there on my wedding day.
I want you there on my wedding day.
