10. INVITE A VITAMIN TO DINNER (Ron Hiller/RONNO, Judy Millar, Beth DeVolder
© 2008 Song Support/SOCAN)

RONNO: You know that vitamins are found in foods we eat - right? - and that our bodies need them to stay healthy?
Kids: Yeah
RONNO: Lucky for us, they’re easy to spot. They’re jam-packed in bright, colorful foods!
Child: They’re in foods that are all the colors of the rainbow?!?
RONNO: Right! And since vitamins are such good friends, we should always be inviting our colorful friends to dinner.
All: Yeah!

RONNO:
Now, I’m a red bell pepper
I’m a crunchy guy
Am I a healthy food?
Yeah!
Tell me why

If it’s red, green, orange or blue …
Chances are it’s good for you!
You’ve got vitamins, pepper! You’re a healthy dude!
You’ve got a color from the rainbow in your food!

REFRAIN:
Invite a vitamin (Go on!)
Invite a vitamin (You’ll be glad you did!/That’s it!)
Invite a vitamin to dinner
Make a colorful choice!


Now, I’m a broccoli
I’m a bumpy one!
Have I got vitamins?
Yeah!
Well, how come?!?

If it’s red, green, orange or blue …
Chances are it’s good for you!
You’ve got vitamins in you ‘cause you’re made of green!
Gotta eat more green – Be a GREEN MACHINE!

REPEAT REFRAIN

Invite a red
Invite a green
An apple, or a cherry, green pepper or a bean
Invite an orange!
Invite a blue!
It’s true that fruit ‘n veggies are always good for you
And if you want nutrition to keep a healthy weight
The colors of the rainbow in your food works great!

Now, I’m a blueberry
I’m a sweet, sweet guy
Can I come for dessert?
Yeah!
Tell me why:

If it’s red, green, orange or blue …
Chances are it’s good for you!
You’re a BLUE, blueberry!
You’re a healthy dude!
You’ve got a color from the rainbow in your food!

REPEAT REFRAIN

Vitamin “A”
Vitamin “B”
“A” to help your eyesight
“B” for energy
Vitamin “C”
Vitamin “D”
“C” to fight infection
“D” for bones ‘n teeth
And if you want nutrition to keep a healthy weight
You know you’re eating properly with color on your plate!

I’m a brussel sprout
Hey, hear me out!
Am I a healthy choice?
Yeah, without a doubt!

I’m a tangerine
And I’m very keen
Can I come for dinner?
You can make the scene!

I’m a carrot stick
Does that do the trick?
Can I come on over?
You’re an awesome pick!!

REPEAT REFRAIN
