Salad Bowl
It’s fun to go bowling
At the old Salad Bowl.
The ball’s made of lettuce,
So let us all roll
The ball down the alley
To the ten standing pins
Made of carrots and squash
Till somebody wins.
We’ll knock down the veggies,
Then we’ll cheer as they fall.
And when we have finished
Tossed salad for all!
