Tip of the Iceberg

Ft. Georgie Cooper


Have you heard the news today?
About the Lettuce Crisis?
I'd better be on my way
Before they all raise all the prices

So I arrive, in my 4 wheel drive
At the supermarket
Gonna fill my boot with all of the loot
If I can find a big space to park it

They didn’t have them in Tescos
So I tried my luck at Waitrose
They don't sell them in Marks and Spencer
In Aldi they're a pound and 19 pencer!

It's just the tip of the Iceberg
this lettuce shortage
the sign says you
can only have two
and you're going to need a mortgage

In Morrison's there were no green beans
And they were clean out of aubergines
A sign said due to rain damage
We regret we don't have any cabbage

Everyone here is on a manic high
The only thing for it is to panic buy
I looked for the spinach but it was all finished
Luckily I got the last broccoli

It's just the tip of the Iceberg
this lettuce shortage
the sign says you
can only have two
and you're going to need a mortgage

I managed to find some rocket
only one bunch but , hey! don't knock it
I looked for tomatoes but to no avail
they only had potatoes and some curly Kale

The damn Climate Change
wrecking our vegetable range
have to drive around and around
from town to town

It's just the tip of the Iceberg
this lettuce shortage
the sign says you
can only have two
and you're going to need a mortgage

I say I say I say, why are lettuces green?
I don't know - why are lettuces green?
Cos they are!
Ooohhhh!

It's just the tip of the Iceberg
this lettuce shortage
the sign says you
can only have two
and you're going to need a mortgage
