Eeeeh Sweet Fruits

I like cherries, juicy and red
Be careful of that stone, that's what Mummy said
I like blueberries, purple and small
They roll around the table and sometimes fall

I like bananas with bright yellow skin
I have to peel it back before I begin
I like melon, a great big slice
It's fun to eat and very nice

Bridge... (Chorus)
But the best of all, 'cause it's really cute is the one they call the Ugli fruit
It looks like a football, lumpy and green, the ugliest fruit you've ever seen

I like apples, they're hard to bite
The outside's green or red but the middle's always white
I like orange's colorful peel
I think they make a healthy meal

Grapes are good, I eat a lot
So much fruit, I don't know what I'll eat today, which one to choose
Reds, greens, yellows or blues ?

But the best of all, 'cause it's really cute is the one they call the Ugli fruit
It looks like a football, lumpy and green, the ugliest fruit you've ever seen
But under its skin there's nothing mean
It tastes like a beautiful tangerine

So I'm asking you and saying please, eat more fruit and eat less cheese !
