Annie the artichoke was green and lovely

Annie the artichoke was sad and blue

Alone on the shelf in the greengrocer’s store

She’s sending this message to you

 

Please lift me down and take me home

Cook me up in a stew

I’m full of all kinds of delicious things

I’m so -so good for you

 

I know you’ll like me if you give me a try

I taste so delicious and sweet

I don’t look as good as the others I know

But I’m really a treat to eat.
