Eat Your Salad – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Tonight!
Three eligible bachelors
will fight for the heart of a beautiful...
environmentalist.
But!
One one of them can be victorious.
Let's find out in:
Salad
for
Two!
Let's meet our contestants
Instead of meat I eat veggies and
I like them both fresh, like them both juicy
I ride my bicycle to work instead of a car
All of my groceries are divided by weight
and stored in glass jars (Yeah)
Got my reusable bag
That swag, my flex, my flag
Zero waste, that is my jam
Save fuel and sell your trucks
The karma comes for free and so does luck
All aboard the green Titanic
Let's sail the world and then cruise the Atlantic
No ice in the way, no need to panic
All the signs are there, let's go organic
Oh, when you eat your veggies
Baby, think of me
(Little kitty, don't you know that being green is cool?)
Know that being green is hot (It's hot)
Being green is cool (It's cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as
Being green is hot (It's hot)
Being green is cool (It's cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as you
Ring, ring, God damn, it's an exam, let's go!
Get your trash can, no backup plan and sort through it
Bend over, then jiggle that peach (Hey)
You're recycling while I'm loving those cheeks
I'm a beast instead of a killer, forget the hot dogs (What?)
'Cause my sausage is bigger
Three, two, one, all the girls go eco
If you want your man's tongue longer than a gecko's
Oh, when you eat your veggies
Baby, think of me
(Little kitty, don't you know that being green is cool?)
Know that being green is hot (It's hot)
Being green is cool (It's cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as
Being green is hot (It's hot)
Being green is cool (It's cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as you
Know that being green is hot (It's hot)
Being green is cool (It's cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as
Being green is hot (It's hot)
Being green is cool (It's cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as
Nah, nah, na, na
Nah, nah, na, na
Nah, nah, na, nah
Na, na, nah, nah, na, na
Nah, nah, na, nah
Nah, nah, na, nah, na
Nah, nah, na, na
Nah, nah, na, na
Nah, nah, na, nah
Na, na, nah, nah, na, na
Nah, nah, na, nah
Nah, nah, na, nah, na
Know that
Being green is hot (It's hot)
Being green is cool (It's cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as
Being green is hot (It's hot)
Being green is cool (It's cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as
Yeah, yeah, ohh, ohh

Key Grammar Structures
-
Instead of meat I eat veggies and
➔ Prepositional phrase "Instead of"
➔ "Instead of" expresses substitution. It means 'in place of' or 'as an alternative to'. In this case, eating veggies replaces eating meat.
-
I ride my bicycle to work instead of a car
➔ Again, the phrase "instead of". Showing a preference/alternative.
➔ This line shows that the speaker chooses to cycle, an eco-friendly option, *instead of* driving a car.
-
All of my groceries are divided by weight
➔ Passive voice: "are divided by weight"
➔ The groceries are the object being acted upon. The agent (who is dividing) is not the focus, but the action of dividing.
-
Got my reusable bag
➔ Ellipsis/Informal contraction: "(I've) Got"
➔ The auxiliary verb "have" is dropped for informal speech. "Got" implies possession.
-
Zero waste, that is my jam
➔ Use of "that is" as a defining clause.
➔ "That is my jam" defines what zero waste means to the speaker. It means it's something they enjoy and are passionate about.
-
Save fuel and sell your trucks
➔ Imperative mood: "Save" and "sell"
➔ These verbs are used to give a direct command or instruction. The subject (you) is implied.
-
The karma comes for free and so does luck
➔ Inversion with "so": "so does luck"
➔ Inversion is used after "so" to express agreement. It means 'luck also comes for free'.
-
If you want your man's tongue longer than a gecko's
➔ Comparative adjective: "longer than"
➔ "Longer than" compares the length of the man's tongue to the length of a gecko's tongue.
