This song was featured on the CBC radio show "The Long and the Short of it" about pasta.

lyrics

I like to eat, and so do you.
I like to cook, my own food.
'cause then, I know, I know what's in it,
let's throw a pot on the stove and begin it.
No Canola, no GMOs,
that is just the way it goes.
Want no Monsanto, in my pantry,
So take your seeds and stick them up your nose.

Holy cannoli, is that ravioli?
Rice is nice, but we like pasta.
Hey Betty let's make spaghetti,
Rice is nice, but pasta's faster.
Pasta's faster.

I like grapes, and I like spinach,
and I'm bananas, about bananas,
Tomato sauce with tomatoes in it,
ya' wanna put it on ya' mama's lasagna.
Now's it's time to go organic,
I need a chef, not a mechanic.
Don't need no chicken that's got the flu,
I want to live, and so do you!

Brown rice, green veggies,
Have a friend, he's almost dead he's
having burgers, with the King,
and trans fat onion rings.
Whole wheat pasta, make it last a,
long time when you savour it,
depending how you flavour it,
just take your time and make it, eat it.

Just eat it.
