  • Spoken: You may not know this, but I'm really a very sentimental dog.

    I cry easily. Onions, for instance, always make me cry.

    I'll admit I split bananas,

    Take Easter eggs and make them dye.

    But I never harmed an onion

    So why should they make me cry?

    Once I saw a salad dressing.

    My face got radish, my oh my.

    But I never harmed an onion

    So why should they make me cry?

    Potatoes I've mashed, and berries I've crushed,

    I've made an artichoke, and that's not all.

    I've also whipped cream, and beaten an egg.

    Yes, I've even made a melon ball.

    Of all the things above, I'm guilty.

    If punished I would know just why.

    But I never harmed an onion

    So why should they make me cry?

    Oh why should they make me cry?

    "I Love Onions"

    Performed by Susan Christie in 1966

    Written by Donald Cochrane and John Hill

    I don't like snails, or toads, or frogs,

    Or strange things living under logs,

    But, mmm, I love onions.

    I don't like dancin' with crazy Ted,

    He's always jumpin' on my head,

    But, mmm, I love onions.

    Onions, onions, la la la. Onions, onions, ha ha ha.

    Root toot doodle-ee-oot doot doo doot.

    Onions, onions, la la la. Onions, onions, ha ha ha.

    Root toot doodle-ee-oot doot doo doot.

    I don't like rain, or snow, or hail,

    Or Moby Dick, the great white whale,

    But, mmm, I love onions.

    I don't like shoes that pinch your toes,

    Or people who squirt you with a garden hose,

    But, mmm, I love onions.

    Onions, onions, la la la. Onions, onions, ha ha ha.

    Root toot doodle-ee-oot doot doo doot.

    Onions, onions, la la la. Onions, onions, ha ha ha.

    Root toot doodle-ee-oot doot doo doot. Yeah!

    The onion is a tuberous vegetable and is a member of the genus stinkus delicioso.

    It was highly prized by the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, and their friends and

    cousins-a. They cause watering of the eyes and rubifaction of the skin, but it is

    very, very tasty. (huhuh)

    Onions, onions, la la la. Onions, onions, ha ha ha.

    Root toot doodle-ee-oot doot doo doot.

    Onions, onions, la la la. Onions, onions, ha ha ha.

    Root toot doodle-ee-oot doot doo doot.

    How vewwy, vewwy cwude!
