I'm so sad and lonely
Can you feel my heart at beat
And I am so hungry
Would you please pass me the beets
I just want to love you
I don't want nobody else
Won't you make me dinner
'Cause I can't cook for myself
Pass me the beets, ooh-ooh
Don't you ever leave me
'Cause without you I would die
Now let's get to eating
Have ourselves chicken pot pie
All my dreams and wishes
They come true when you are here
Now won't you wash the dishes
I'll watch TV and drink beer
Pass me the beets, ooh-ooh
Sometimes beets, they come in a can
But now baby I'm sure you're cooking for another man
But baby if you could see your way clear
And take away these frozen pot pies and cheap beer
A nicoise salad, some borscht, anything will do
Pass me the beets honey, the rest is up to you
