about
Dive into a hip, delicious, nutritious pool party with the debut single from Veg Plot Season 3.
"One of my favourite ways to write songs for The Vegetable Plot is to think about the personality of a particular vegetable and imagine them as a character inside a musical world.
Now what kind of personality does a cucumber have? Well, for one, they’re cool. Two, they like dips. Three, the other veggies probably wouldn’t call them by their full name, they’d just call them “Q”. It’s not a huge leap from there to a latin-jazz-infused summer anthem all about an ultra cool cucumber who has invited all the other veggies to his awesome summer pool party so he can play his jazz flute for them.
I’m thrilled with how this track has come together. We had so much fun making it, and I’m delighted that it’s the opening single from our upcoming third album."

Cucumber Rumba
He’s cool
Cool
He’s smooth
Smooth
And his name is
Q
Yes his name is

He’s cool like the tundra
Like an umbrella in the summer
Here’s his latest number
Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
Our friend Q is totally hip
Totally hip
His swimming pool is a Tzatziki dip
Ziki dip
He’s so cool when he was born
He was born
His sunglasses were already on
He’s cool like the tundra
Like an umbrella in the summer
Here’s his latest number
It’s called Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
Shake shake shake your Bumba
Cucumber Rumba
Here he comes the cool cat
Cool cat
In his light green sun hat
Sun hat
His swimming pool has a salad bar
Salad bar
He’s got a brother in a pickle jar
He’s cool like the tundra
Like an umbrella in the summer
Here’s his latest number
It’s called Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba

Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
He’s cool
Cool
He’s smooth
Smooth
He’s the dude
Dude
Crunchy too

Q
They call him Q cos he’s right on cue
Tells the orchestra what to do
He’s the produce that produces
Ice cold creative juices
Cool like the tundra
Like an umbrella in the summer
Here’s his latest number
It’s called Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
Cucumber Rumba
Shake shake your Bumba
To Cucumber Rumba
