For My Children - Lyrics
Sticks & Stones & Dried Up Leaves
Sticks & stones & dried up leaves,
really, really hits the spot;
specially with some ketcup on top
– don’t forget the cheese,
with sticks & stones & dried up leaves.
Sticks & stones & dried up leaves.
Fix em anyway you please.
Mix em with potatos or those juicy red tomatos
on those sticks & stones & dried up leaves.
Now when you bake or fry or boil these,
just remember seasoning is key.
Cause you want to really savor
and not waver on the flavor
of those sticks & stones & dried up leaves.
Sticks & stones & dried up leaves.
juicy sticks & stones & dried up leaves.
Gotta have sticks & stones & dried up leaves;
oh, sticks & stones & dried up leaves.
Now I know that everyone agrees,
that as people we should not chew trees.
But when we pretend to eat stuff
that the world would think was too tough
why not sticks & stones & dried up leaves?
So don’t ever be in fear of
that I’d really make a meal of
all those sticks & stones and dried up leaves.
