Proper Nutrition

Proper nutrition,
This must be understood,
That without the matter handled
One can’t do the things they should.
Sometimes you might feel lazy,
Lethargic and uninspired,
It might just be you did not eat
All of the foods required.
The science of nutrition
Is something new indeed-
The vitamins have just been found
And there are many types you need.
One must take heed and have consciousness
With all the foods you eat,
Watching out for your nutrition
Can make you feel complete!
Tee-dee-dum dum dum,
Tee-dee-dum dum dum,
Tee-dee-dum dum da dee da dee dum!
Tee-dee-dum dum dum,
Tee-dee-dum dum dum,
Tee-dee-dum dum dum dum dum!
Good teeth, good bones need calcium
That’s why you should drink milk.
It calms the nerves quite wonderfully-
Our skin stays smooth as silk!
And while we’re talking dairy,
Green figs and cream is great!
It’s delicious and nutritious-
And won’t let you constipate!
The science of nutrition
Is something truly new-
These minerals have just been found
They help to strengthen you.
So while you dears are eating
All the delicious foods we bring,
Be mindful that your nutrition is
A most important thing!
Tee-dee-dum dum dum,
Tee-dee-dum dum dum,
Tee-dee-dum dum da dee da dee dum!
Tee-dee-dum dum dum,
Tee-dee-dum dum dum,
Tee-dee-dum dum dum dum dum!
Proper nutrition,
This must be understood,
That without the matter handled
One can’t do the things they should!
