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 Pass me the beets, ooh-ooh
