Lyrics
(Fruitman) The fruitman
(It's the fruitman)
Here comes the Fruitman
Bringin' fruit from the land
Here comes the fruitman
Bringin' vegetables from the land
When you see the fruit truck come through
The fruitman always asks you
"What can I, I do for you?"
I have watermelons, red ripe tomatoes
Apples and oranges, Idaho potatoes
(The Fruitman)
So look and see what you see
I only bring things naturally
You know you gotta eat to live
So your body can give you more to give
So eat naturally and you, and you will see the difference
The difference
The difference
The difference
Here comes the fruitman
Bringin' fruit from the land
Here comes the fruitman
Bringin' vegetables from the land
When you see the fruit truck come through
The fruitman always asks you
"What can I, I do for you?"
I have watermelons, red ripe tomatoes
Apples and oranges, Idaho potatoes
(The fruitman)
So look and see what you see
I only bring things naturally
You know you gotta eat to live
So your body can give you more to give
So eat naturally, and you, and you will see the difference
The difference
The difference
The difference
(Hey, the fruitman) Fruitman!
Fruitman
When you see the fruit truck come through
The fruitman always asks you
"What can I, I do for you?"
I have watermelons, red ripe tomatoes
Apples and oranges, Idaho potatoes
(The fruitman)
So look and see what you see
I only bring things naturally
You know you gotta eat to live
So your body can give you more to give
So eat naturally, and you, and you will see the difference
The difference
The difference
The difference
(The fruitman)
(Fruitman)
(Fruitman)
(Here comes the fruitman!)
(Come get it; I have watermelons, apples, oranges, pears)
(Peaches, lemons, oranges, Idaho potatoes)
(Mr. Fruitman will you please get me some cherries? You get me a pound)
(I'll have a quarter pound, Sir)
(Oranges quarter pound, potatoes 25 for a pound, bananas, grapes, cherries, lemons)
(Do you have plums and peaches? Give me two o' them)
(Fruitman)
(Fruitman)
(Asparagus, asparagus, anybody like cherries? Lemons, limes?)
(Bananas?)
(Fruitman)
