Lyrics:

I’m drawn to it subconsciously
I must speak with you honestly
for I have quite quite possibly
fallen in love with broccoli

As fortold by ancient prophecy
a crown both green and holy
rests atop the trunk so perfectly
tis the form of royal broccoli

a name of the purest poetry
a taste so truly heavenly
I cannot be an anomaly
alone in my love for broccoli
