Broccoli-Broccoli-

Higgeldy Pie . . .

For a balanced diet,

why don’t you try

Broccoli-Broccoli-

Higgeldy Pie?

Buy it by the basin

buy it by the jar,

buy it by the kilo

and sing oh la la.

Everyone says

it’ll make you strong —

a buccaneer will tell you

you can’t go wrong

with Broccoli-Broccoli-

Higgeldy Pie.

Come on, risk it,

it’s do or die . . .
