The fruit pack sent for reinforcements
Mr Coconut and Pineapple were on the way
And now they would sort those vegetables out
This would be their victory day

So Mr Coconut and Mr Pineapple arrived
They were tough and they were mean
The march began, their banners held high
Mr Lemon, he'd surveyed the scene

But the vegetables had got wind of this
And they put their strongest first
Mr Swede and Mr Turnip led the way
Muscles swelled and about to burst

So the fight began, but to their dismay
The vegetables were running out of steam
Mr Coconut was as hard as nails
And Mr Pineapple was whipping them like cream

But Mr Carrot, he had a brilliant idea
He would lead them out into the snow
Where these exotic fruits just couldn't cope
They weren't used to the cold you know

So soon Mr Coconut and Mr Pineapple
They had simply frozen up inside
The vegetables cheered as the fruits ran off
'Cause these mean sons-o-bitches had died

So they marched along, Mr Carrot held high
And now they were sure once again
That vegetables are much better for you
'Cause vegetables make you use your brain
