Lyrics The Kingsmen

The Kingsmen

Jolly Green Giant

In the valley of the Jolly

Heard about the Jolly Green Giant

(Potatoes)

He's so big and mean

(Artichoke hearts)

Well, he stands there laughin'

With his hands on his hips

And then he hits you with a can of beans

Well, he lives down there in his valley

(Brussels sprouts)

The cat stands tall and green

(Spinach)

Well, he ain't no prize

And there's no women his size

And that's why the cat's so mean

One day he left his valley pad

I mean to say this cat was mad

Now lookin' 'round he was [Incomprehensible]

And then he ran into an Amazon

Well, this changed his whole complexion

(Broccoli)

He had never seen such a beautiful sight

(Corn)

Then he looked at her and she looked at him

And she almost passed out from fright

He looked at her thought, what a dilly

He touched her once, she slapped him silly

This was something he had never sensed

He looked at her as she commenced

"Now listen, pal, this ain't no fluke

I can't see goin' with a big green kook"

You've heard about the Jolly Green Giant

(Eggplant)

Don't let his troubles cross your mind

(Celery stalks)

He couldn't get Sally so went back to his valley

The cat was color-blind

Carrots

Canned beans
