[Verse 1]

In yellow shoes, I get the blues

So I walk the streets with my plastic feet

With blue velvet trousers make me feel pink

There's a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers

In my paisley shirt, I look a jerk

And my turquoise waistcoat is quite out of sight

But oh, oh, my haircut looks so bad


[Refrain]

Vegetable man, where are you?


[Verse 2]

So I change my gear, and I find my knees

And I cover them up with the latest cut

And my pants and socks, I bought in a box

It don't take long to buy nylon socks

The watch, black watch, my watch, with a black face

Acetate, and a little hole and all the lot

Is what I've got, it's what I wear

It's what you see, it must be me

It's what I am


[Refrain]

Vegetable man, where are you?


[Bridge]

Ha-ha, ha, ha-ha, ha

Ha, ha-ha, ha, ha-ha, ha

Oh, I've been looking all over the place for a place for me

But it ain't anywhere, it just ain't anywhere


[Outro]

Vegetable man (Vegetable man)

Vegetable man (Vegetable man)

Vegetable man (Vegetable man)

Vegetable man

He's the kind of fella, you're just gonna see him if you can

Vegetable man
