Hasmita Shah, 1995

Be a veggie and be proud of it

Let’s talk about food

Eating meat is no good

Let’s show some compassion

It’s also now the fashion

Be a veggie and be proud of it

No matter what they say

Even if the torment you day after day

Don’t give in and be a fool

Eating meat is definitely not cool

Be a veggie and be proud of it

Just imagine how it would feel

If you were the one they wanted to kill

And serve with chips on a plate

Wouldn’t you be cursing your fate

Be a veggie and be proud of it

Don’t let them give you a burger

And persuade you that animals don’t suffer

I have seen a sheep bleat

It knew they wanted it for its meat

Be a veggie and be proud of it

As someone famous once said

I’m not a graveyard for the burial of the dead

So don’t eat that animal’s head

And get the same disease it once had 

Be a veggie and be proud of it
