You know how much I love you,
I've told you so before,
I'm telling you now, and I'll tell you again,
And I'll tell you a million times more...

When you first ate an olive,
You didn't like olives, did ya?

Remember how you hated,
The olive when you ate it, don't ya?

You used to wanna know why they ever let them grow,
But now you always order them wherever you go,

So, give me a chance,
Like you did the little olive,
And, maybe you'll learn to like me!

When you first tasted spinach,
You didn't like spinach, did ya?

Remember how you hated,
The spinach when you ate it, don't ya?

You used to make a face when they'd put it on your plate,
But now you have it twice a day, and tell me it's great,

So, give me a chance,
Like you did the plate of spinach,
And, maybe you'll learn to like me!
