Here comes the fruitman
Bringing fruit from the land
Here come the fruitman
Bringing vegetables from the land

When you see the fruit truck come through
The fruitman always asks you
What can I, I do for you
I have watermelons, red ripe tomatoes
Apples and oranges, Idaho potatoes

So look and see what you see
I only bring things naturally
You know you gotta eat to live
So your body can give you more to give
So eat naturally, and you will see the difference

Here comes the fruitman
Bringing fruit from the land
Here come the fruitman
Bringing vegetables from the land

When you see the fruit truck come through
The fruitman always asks you
What can I, I do for you
I have watermelons, red ripe tomatoes
Apples and oranges, Idaho potatoes

So look and see what you see
I only bring things naturally
You know you gotta eat to live
So your body can give you more to give
So eat naturally, and you will see the difference

Here comes the fruitman
Bringing fruit from the land
Here come the fruitman
Bringing vegetables from the land

So look and see what you see
I only bring things naturally
You know you gotta eat to live
So your body can give you more to give
So eat naturally, and you will see the difference

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
