There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bun 

There Was a Hungry Old Lady

Once there lived an old lady,

Who was extremely fat and wide;

She loved to snack on junk food,

And she never walked outside.

Everyday she sat and watched TV,

And all she did was eat, eat, eat!

At one o’clock she ate a Big Mac;

At two o’clock she had some Cracker Jacks.

At three o’clock she ate a candy bar;

At four o’clock she had cookies from a jar.

At five o’clock she ate some French fries;

At six o’clock she had a lemon meringue pie.

At seven o’clock she ate some potato chips;

At eight o’clock she had a bag of peppermint sticks.

At nine o’clock she ate a hot dog on a bun;

At ten o’clock she had cotton candy just for fun.

At eleven o’clock she ate some chocolate cake;

At twelve o’clock she had a stomachache!

At the bakery shop,

She took it away.                

[put down 1 finger]

Down around the corner
At the bakery shop,

Great Big Cookie
I am a great big cookie,

[circle hands over head]
Chocolately and round.

[extend hands out to sides]
Filled with lots of chocolate chips,

[point to chips]
The best that can be found.

[rub tummy]
I am a great big cookie,

[circle hands over head]
Take a bite of me.

[make chewing motions]
Tasty, sweet, delicious,

[extend hands out to sides]
I'm oh-so-yummy!

[rub tummy]
I WAS a great big cookie,

[circle hands over head]
The very best around.

[extend hands out to sides]
Now there's nothing left of me,

[shake head]
Just crumbs upon the ground.

If You Love Spaghetti

If you love spaghetti, smack your lips.

If you love hamburgers, shake your hips.

If you love onions, cry, cry, cry.

If you love chicken, fly, fly, fly.

If you love ice cream, tap your toes.

If you love applesauce, touch your nose.

If you love zucchini, wiggle around.

If you love bananas, touch the ground.

If you love spinach, jump up high.

If you love pizza, touch the sky.

If you love apples, stand up tall.

Now shout the food that you love best of all.

Doughnut

Here is a doughnut,

                [form circle with thumbs and forefingers]

Round and fat.

There’s a hole in the middle,     

                [hold circle up and look through it]

But you can’t eat that!

                [shake head]
