| Facts: |
| Spinach was seen as a 'superfood' in the first half of the 20th century instead of, say, brussels sprouts or broccoli because of an 1870 German study that claimed spinach contained about as much iron as there is in red meat. In reality, this was nothing more than an accounting error. The scientists put the decimal point in the wrong place. The iron content of spinach is actually one-tenth of what was reported. The mistake was corrected in 1937. It was too late for Popeye, though. He’d already been using the spinach gimmick for almost 10 years. Spinach does contain iron, but no more than other leafy vegetables. In fact, the iron in spinach is not easily absorbed by the body unless it’s combined with an acid, such as a squirt of lemon juice.

| Song Lyrics: |
Pardon me did I hear you say Spinach - Spinach
I represent all the kids of the nation
Who sent me to see you about it
I bring a message from the kids of the nation
To tell you we can do without it
Kindly listen to me
I'm not alone in my plea
There are dozens and dozens and dozens of us
Nephews and nieces and cousins of us
They want me to say - Hallelujah Hallelujah
No Spinach, take away that awful greenery
No Spinach, give us lots of jelly beanery
We positively refuse to budge
We'd like lollipops, we like fudge
But no Spinach Hosanna
You've got to eat your Spinach baby
No No No No, I'm singing to you
No No No No Hallelujah
Spinach stay away from my door
We'll tell the bogey man
The big big bad bad bogey bogey man
Oh that's just a bluff
You know we don't believe that stuff
You gotta eat your Spinach baby
Children have to do as they are told
Yes Sir, yes Ma'am
Children shouldn't be so very bold
Yes Sir, yes Ma'am
Or you'll grow up to be a meanie when your old
Yes Sir, yes Ma'am
I've want to tell all the kids of the nation
Who sent me to see you about it
Children have to do as they are told
Children shouldn't be so very bold
Or you will be a meanie when you're old
So okay - Spinach (Stavro Arrgolus) |
