- everyone has different tastes!
IT’S NO FUN WHEN YA GOTTA EAT AN ONION
When Dad cuts onions, he just cries
That smell brings tears into his eyes
It brings the tears to my eyes too
I know he’ll make me eat his stew!
Cho: It’s no fun when ya gotta eat an onion!
It’s no fun when ya gotta eat an onion!
Sometimes when I take a bite
Of something that I think’s alright
I find some onion in my mouth,
And Mom won’t let me spit it out, she says
“It’s just a small piece, don’t you fuss!”
But it will burn if it gets crushed
I chew around it, but I’m stuck,
I guess I’ll have to swallow, YUUCH!
Chorus
Now onion lovers love to tell
How much they love that onion smell
How onions make your blood run thinner
If you eat them in your dinner
Well I don’t care what someone thinks,
If you eat onions, your breath stinks!
And you might 'cause your best friend’s death
If you say “Hi!” with onion breath!
Chorus
Onions raw or onions cooked, or
Onions tossed or sauced or gooked
With batter fried or onions plain
Or onions baked with fancy names, yeah,
Like ‘Au Gratin’ or ‘Fondue’
Or onions hidden in my stew
With eggs or cheese in a souffle
They’re still just onions anyway!
Chorus
So kids remember when you eat
Check each mouthful, I repeat,
'Cause onions are a grown-up plot!
Some kids like onions, I do not!
