English

This is Aspara Gus calling across the universe to Wambamboobaloo
Come in Wambamboobaloo
The people here on Earth have a question for you
What do you do in Wambamboobaloo?
What do you do in Wambamboobaloo?

Here in Wambamboobaloo
We are astral voyagers
Looking for some good to do
We fly all over the universe
And we’ve been flying in the skies
All around your world
And we think it might be time
For every boy and girl

We think you might understand
What it means to feel love
To take the power in your hand
To plant a seed
To fill your hearts and your voices

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Fly!!!!

Leaving Wambamboobaloo
Through the radish nebula
Past the star of Coocachoo
And the moons of Jupiter
We’ll be flying in disguise
As a flock of birds
But we’ll be watching with our minds
And listening to your words

You might sense us in the sky
You might pick up on our vibe
And if you ever want to fly
Then raise your hand (then raise your hand)
And turn your eyes to the sunrise

Flying so high in the boobaloo sky
Sending down our own good vibe
Flying so high in the boobaloo sky
Sending down our good vibe
Flying so high in the boobaloo sky
Sending down our own good vibe
Flying so high in the boobaloo sky
Sending down our good vibe

Children of Earth
Your planet is a marvel indeed
It gives you food to feed
Every soul in need
The flowers and veggies grow
Clinging to the dirt below
Reaching upwards to the sky
Plant them again, they never die

The human soul is like a soil
And love is the seed
There is love enough to feed
Every heart in need
We gave these humble veggie folk
The power to sing and joke
To remind you of who you are
Blessed children of a golden star

Soy Aspara Gus llamando desde el universo a Uam-babú-balú,
contesta Uam-babú-balú,
la gente que está en la Tierra quiere hacerte una pregunta,
¿Qué haces en Uam-babú-balú?
¿Qué haces en Uam-babú-balú?

Aquí en Uam-babú-balú
somos viajeros astrales,
buscando algo bueno para hacer,
volamos por el universo
y hemos volado por los cielos,
por todo el mundo,
y creemos que es el momento
de cada niño y niña

Creemos que puedes entender
qué significa sentir el amor,
tomar el poder con tus manos,
plantar una semilla,
llenar sus corazones y sus voces

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ¡A volar!

Dejo Uam-babú-balú
a través de la nebulosa del rábano,
pasando la estrella de Cucachú
y las lunas de Júpiter,
volaremos disfrazados
como una bandada de pájaros,
pero estaremos mirando con nuestras mentes
y escucharemos tus palabras

Puedes sentirnos en el cielo,
puedes captar nuestra vibra,
y si alguna vez quieres volar,
entonces levanta la mano (entonces levanta la mano)
y eleva la mirada a la salida del sol

Volando muy alto en el cielo de Bubalú,
les enviamos nuestras propias buenas vibras,
volando muy alto en el cielo de Bubalú,
les enviamos nuestras buenas vibras,
volando muy alto en el cielo de Bubalú,
les enviamos nuestras propias buenas vibras,
volando muy alto en el cielo de Bubalú,
les enviamos nuestras buenas vibras

Niños de la Tierra
su planeta es una maravilla,
les da comida para alimentar
a cada alma que lo necesite,
las flores y los vegetales crecen
aferrándose al suelo,
estirándose hacia el cielo,
se plantan de nuevo, nunca mueren

El alma humana es como la tierra
y el amor es la semilla,
hay suficiente amor para alimentar
a cada corazón que lo necesite,
le dimos a este humilde pueblo de vegetales
el poder de cantar y bromear
para recordarles quiénes son,
niños bendecidos de una estrella dorada

Ladies and Gentlestems, bulbs and girls, it’s time to shake your stems, do the jumping bean, and twist and sprout with the freshest bunch in town!

The Vegetable Plot is an award-winning musical group for kids and families that has been spreading its funky roots all over the world. Serving up a big, wriggling heap of catchy tunes, colorful characters, quizzes, dances, jokes, and vegetable-related puns, this soilful bunch will plant melodies in your head that will blossom for years to come.

Created by award-winning songwriter and storyteller Luke Escombe (aka Aspara Gus), The Vegetable Plot burst onto the Australian music scene in 2014, winning the prize for best kids’ show at the Sydney Fringe. Since then the project has become a hotbed for some of the tastiest homegrown talent in Australia, including folk group All Our Exes Live in Texas and singing sensation Alice Terry, making them a band that adults can enjoy just as much as kids. In fact, some of The Vegetable Plot's biggest fans admit to listening even when the little ones aren't around.

After four years in the soil, the band's long-awaited second album, Season Two, emerged at the end of 2019. Broc-full of songs about vegetables, bedtime routines, more vegetables, community gardens, farmer's markets, yet more vegetables, urban living, alien worlds, the cycles of life, herbs and spices, and all the essential vegetables you'll need for the holidays (including TWO songs about pumpkins), Season Two has taken the group to new heights, securing them a deal with ABC Kids and a recent support slot with The Wiggles.

So come and join Aspara Gus, Ru Barb, Sir Paul McCarrotney, and friends as they take you deep underground for a ride on the soil train and show you exactly why families across the world are embracing these funky food revolutionaries and their mission of love and peas.
