Rainbow On My Plate

CH
I got a rainbow on my plate
I got a rainbow on my plate
I'm gonna cut it up, plate it up, chew it up, use it up
A rainbow on my plate
V1
Loading up my plate I need to mix up all the colours of the rainbow,
The foods that make you grow and glow to run and play.
Mixing up the vege you need a serve of something green and maybe yellow,
Gotta have variety so change up what you eat every day
CH
V2
I keep my heart a pumpin’ when I eat a bit of red like tomato
To help defend the body get some greens like broccoli
To give us super vision on a mission eat some carrot or some pumpkin
To keep my body new, eat purple/ blue - yeah! Blueberries!

Traffic Light Song

V1
I was feeling hungry as I stood in the line
Wasn’t sure what was healthy, couldn’t make up my mind
But as I looked more closely it was much easier than it seemed.
Three simple colours, red, then amber and green
Ch
Well there’s a red light telling us “Stop, think about it”
an amber light saying “some is ok”
the green light telling us “more that we choose them, we’re gonna live a healthy way”
V2
So I am careful choosing, what to put inside of me
Not too many red lights some amber lots of green
If I want to be more healthy then the choice is up to me
By following the colours, I can choose the best energy
Ch
Bridge:
Oh for the healthy life
Follow the colours on the traffic light

You need the brain food
and the muscle food
and the bum food
‘cos a healthy plate is where it’s at!
For brain energy to activate
gravitate your plate to a carbohydrate
For clever thinking and to help you run faster
serve yourself some bread and pasta
CH
To help your body grow big and strong
be seen with protein and you won’t be wrong
to repair and restore from your head to your feet
serve yourself dairy and meat
Ch
For a bottom to do what it’s supposed to do
subscribe to fibre to go to the loo
to sweep our gut and help us toot
we need lots of veggies and fruit
Balance them together don’t hesitate
protein fibre, carbohydrate
To build, repair, restore and for energy too.
Don’t forget the sweeper to help you poo
Don’t forget the sweeper to help you poo
Don’t forget the sweeper to help you poo!!!!!!
To have the brain food (we got the brain food)
to have the muscle food (we got the muscle food)
and the bum food (the bum food, the bum food, the bum food yeah!)
‘cos a healthy plate is where it’s
‘cos a healthy plate is where it’s
‘cos a healthy plate is where it’s at!

All Food Is Fuel

We were walking hungry down the street
looking for good food for us to eat
We asked a lady talking up ahead
she turned to us and this is what she said;
CH
“The best food you can eat for energy (for you and me)
is the closest thing to nature that it can be (doncha see)
and remember the golden rule:
‘All food is fuel’.
But I bought lots of snacks in pretty packets
I ate the lot, my tummy made a racket
I felt crazy, I ran and a ball
but then I had no energy at all.
CH
My drinks are sweet and fizzy
I’m feeling sick and dizzy
I should some have had some water I know
Although my chocolate bar is neat
I can’t treat it as a treat
and I’ll have a better energy flow
We can all kinds of things
lollies chips fried chicken wings
we savour the flavour cause it tastes’ fine
but we can’t eat this all the time
we need lasting fuel to make us go
it’s gotta be food that releases slow
There’s no bad food make no mistake
just remember to make a date with your cake!
Now we’re eating lots of things you see
that grow in the back garden and come from a tree
My body lets me know when I feel low
to eat good food so I can go and go!

Takes Ten Tastes

V1.
I was sitting at the table feeling very able when my mum put something down in front of me.
It was green and kind of weird and everything I feared when she told me it was called ‘Broccoli’.
She said “Son, don’t be serious, you shouldn’t be delirious cause facing something new is always strange.
You can’t just try it one time, for this will never be fine cause it takes ten tastes for your tastes to change.”
CH:
It takes ten tastes to transform your tastes
It takes ten tastes to transform your tastes
Takes ten tastes to transform your tastes
Takes ten tastes to transform your tastes
V2.
When my dad came up to me with something new for tea I took one look and had myself a little convulsion.
I said to him “Look dude, I don’t mean to be rude, but this food can only be met with revulsion.”
He said “Daughter, don’t be serious, you shouldn’t be delirious cause facing something new is always strange.
You can’t just try it one time, for this will never be fine for it takes ten tastes for your tastes to change.”
CH:
Tried it once and then again
Three and four will never be my friend
five and six and seven, eight and nine and then at
number ten it had it tasting oh so fine
