Story Behind The Song
My family was on an extended trip. During one of our driving breaks my 8-year-old son turned to me and blurted out the chorus to this song. Recognizing the potential of the hook I ran into the bathroom and sang it into my phone so that I wouldn't forget it. One month later we tracked it (He sang and played guitar) and a few months later we put out his first EP.
The funny thing about this song is that it's basically a true story. We really did plant turnips, tried to cook them, and realized that our whole family hated them.

Lyrics
Turnips
Everyone loves
Turnips
Except for us
We planted turnips in the garden
We cooked those turnips in the kitchen
We put those turnips on the table
We tried to eat them
But we were not able
We turn down turnips
Always
We turn down turnips
Kick 'em like a football
We turn down turnips
Go tell your mom about it
We turn down AAAAAAHHHHHHH!
