In addition, many healthy food names were thrown around for lyric ideas (nectarines, apricots, tomatoes, and even cucumbers were thrown around as ideas). Line concepts such as "I like broccoli alot" (to rhyme with apricot) and "Won't you give me some" (rhyming with plum) came out of this as well. However, the final song has most of the lyrics of the first draft (with the exception of the song's title).
Lyrics[]
Have a snack, eat an apple or an orange.
Have a snack, munch a cherry or a grape.
Have a snack, have some celery or carrots.
Have a snack, yeah, broccoli is great.
When you want something crunchy,
When you want something sweet
Fruits and vegetables are always fun to eat.
Have a snack, eat a pear or tangerine, yeah!
Have a snack, a purple plum or juicy peach.
Have a snack, I like to peel a big banana.
Have a snack, yeah, I'll have one of each.
When you want something crunchy,
When you want something sweet,
Fruits and vegetables are always fun to eat.
Have a snack, have a snack.
Have a snack, have a snack.
When you want something crunchy,
When you want something sweet,
Fruits and vegetables are always fun to eat.
