See food service get 'em from the jar
Perfect circles on the salad bar
And those Russians boiling them for soup
Won't you keep me in the loop
They got the beet
They got the beet
Yeah
They got the beet
Gives us sugar sweeter than the cane
Bright red dye and yuppie pasta stain
Hyperactive kids are half-insane
They've got beet juice on the brain!
Kids got the beet
They got the beet
They got the beet
Yeah
Kids got the beet
Eat the greens, they're similar to chard
Roast the roots, it isn't very hard
You can get your vit'mins A and C
Even if they dye your pee
We got the beet
We got the beet
We got the beet
Yeah
We got the beet
Everybody give up on meat
We know you can only eat beets
Farmin' - get down
Pull them from the ground…
