Peas Are Green and Round and Mushy

I knew this day would come! All my hard work making up songs for my baby has paid off! I finally have a venue for my musical masterpieces. Parent Bloggers Network has asked bloggers to share songs we used to liven up our days with little ones. Now, I know it's not the same without the tune, which I also made up, but here's mine and my son't favorite:

peas are green and round and mushy
they go in my mouth and they come out my tushy
I love peas

you can eat peas raw or cooked
you can eat peas while you read a book
I love peas

peas are delectable
peas are divine
peas are so wonderful
you can eat 'em any old time

peas are great peas are delicious
peas are fun and they're even nutricious
I LOOOOOOOVE PEEEEEAS!!!

Pretty good huh? That is so copyrighted by the way.... Here's another:

I love eating foods that are orange
I love eating foods that are orange
Carrots and squash and sweet potatoes
I love eating foods that are orange

That one is much improved with music. Trust me. Here's one you may recognize. It goes along to the tune of Jesus Christ Superstar. (I know!)

Cereal! Superstar!
Do you know how good you are?
Rice and oat, corn and wheat
Do you know that you can't be beat?

So Parent Bloggers and Bush's Beans are asking us to rewrite the old favorite beans, beans the magical fruit... By the way, did you know beans aren't really a fruit but a veggie. I thought they were a legume, but that's neither here nor there. Here goes:

Beans, beans, the magical veggie
Eat 'em and no one will give you a wedgie
No one wants a wedgie it's true
Eat more beans so you won't be blue

I'm not going to win that contest, I know. But please, what else rhymes with veggie?

This post was written for Parent Bloggers Network as an entry for a contest sponsored by Bush's Beans.

By the way, all my mommy blogging buddies - anyone can play on these weekly posts. Get on over to PBN and get to posting!
