Now, you can get them green or black,
You can get them soft or hard.
If you lived in Alcaupulco
You could get them from your yard.
But when you live in Chicago
You got to get them from a store.
But as long as you can get them
You can't ask for any more.

Avocado, avocado
The first thing I'd buy if I ever hit the lotto
Would be a prewar Martin guitar
And a ripe avocado.

You can dice them in a salad,
You can slice them on a plate.
You can just peel and eat them
If you don't mind gaining weight.
Because they got a lot of calories,
They even got a little fat.
But the yuppies seem to love them
So they must be where it's at.

Avocado, avocado
The first thing I'd buy if I ever hit the lotto
Would be a red B M W
And a ripe avocado.

You can mash them with a jalapeno
Diced onion and tomater
Throw in a little lime juice
If you want to eat it later.
'Else it gets all black and gooey
If you don't eat it right away.
But it still tastes good
You can still eat it the next day.

Avocado, avocado
The first thing I'd buy if I ever hit the lotto
Would be some modern refrigeration
And a ripe avocado.

Now, if you take that big old seed
And you soak it in some water,
It might start to sprout
Then you can give it to your daughter.
And if she puts it in some soil
It could grow into a tree
Then pretty soon you could have
All the home-grown you want for free.

(I'm talking 'bout) avocado, avocado
The first thing I'd buy if I ever hit the lotto
Would be an ounce or two of primo
And a ripe avocado.
