It’s been a while since I’ve serenaded vegan food in song or questionable rhymes, so I figured a seasonal selection of holiday hymns were in order. So fa-la-la and bon appetite!
Oh Broccoli Tree
(Sung to O Christmas Tree)
Oh broccoli tree, Oh broccoli tree,
I steam you every dinner.
Oh broccoli tree, Oh broccoli tree,
To me you are a winner.
Not only green when summer’s here,
But also when it’s cold and drear.
Oh broccoli tree, Oh broccoli tree,
To me you are a winner.
Oh broccoli tree, Oh broccoli tree,
Such flavor do you bring me!
Oh broccoli tree, Oh broccoli tree,
Such pleasure do you bring me!
Each fresh floret,
Each diced up crown.
Completes a meal I want to down.
Oh broccoli tree, Oh broccoli tree,
To me you are a winner.
Pizza Pie Rocks
(Sung to “Jingle Bell Rock”)
Pizza pie, pizza pie, pizza pie rocks.
Pizza with cheese or the toppings you please.
Turn on the oven to preheat the fun,
Now the pizza love has begun.
Pizza pie, pizza pie, pizza pie rocks.
Pizza’s sublime at just any time.
Cooking and smelling the oregano there,
Wafting through the air.
What a bright time, it’s the right time,
To snack the night away.
Pizza pie time is a swell time,
To go eating and improve on your day.
Hurry-up, oven, come and pick up the pace.
I want to stuff my face.
Put on yoga pants and kick up my feet.Because pizza pie,
Because pizza pie,
Because pizza pie rocks.
Hummus Night
(Sung to “Silent Night”)
Hummus last night, hummus tonight.
You’re so smooth, and so light.
Round yon chickpeas and tahini paste,
Add some garlic for that perfect taste.
Eat it any way you please.
Eat it any way you please.
Hummus last night, hummus tonight.
Any time, is pure delight.
Eaten in salad or slathered on grains,
Pita or crackers or just spooned up plain.
Hummus, you do no wrong.
Hummus, you do no wrong.
Hummus last night, hummus tonight.
Taste buds quake, at the sight.
Glories stream from X above
Those who eat it know it tastes like love.
A snacking savior is born.
A snacking savoir is born.
Have Yourself a Perfect Avocado
(Sung to “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”)
Have yourself a perfect avocado,
That is ripe and right.
Not too dark,
but also not too hard and light.
Have yourself a perfect avocado,
Make a wrap or dips,
Smashed on bread,
or served along with healthy chips.
Here we are in the grocery store,
Choosing our new fruit and more.
Faithful foods that are dear to us
Will come home with us once more.
Through the years our tastes may change a little,
But I must avow.
An avocado is a food I’ll keep somehow.
So have yourself a perfect avocado now.
Snackin’ Around the Christmas Tree
(Sung to “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”)
Snackin’ around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop,
Tables of food that you can see,
And at which you have to stop.
Snackin’ around the Christmas tree,
Let the Christmas “spirits” ring,
We’ll have a glass of red and white,
And screw the caroling.
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,
Voices singing, “Let’s be merry!”
Look! There’s bread and cake with berries.
Snackin’ around the Christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday.
Everyone eating merrily,
In the true food lovers way!
