Bread for you and me (The sourdough bread song)
(Chorus)
Bread for you, bread for me. Of the Sourdough variety.
Eat it toasted, flat, or square. Share the goodness everywhere.
(Verse)
Whole-grains, slow to rise, better health is the prize.
Bran, sperm, and endosperm, parts of the grain I have learned.
Avocado, or hummus. The toppings are truly endless.
1,2,3 a loaf for you and me, 4,5,6 eat too much and you’ll get sick.
7,8,9 bake it at home, save some dimes. 10 I brought enough for all my friends. Smell that bread, we’ll eat till the end!
(Repeat chorus x 2)
(Verse)
Whole-wheat flour, kamut and spelt, ancient grains on the shelf.
Make the dough, levain and ferment well. Rising high, they do the heart well.
Flour, water, yeast, and salt, are the heart of the bread. Nourishing the body and mind ahead.
Freshly baked, so let it cool. Eat it at home, play or school.
(Repeat chorus x 2 and end)
Plant-based ABCs
(Chorus)
Before we go out the door,
We make a list of foods to store.
Let us sing the ABC’s,
Food as letters for you and me.
(Verse)
Apples, bananas, carrots.
Dates, edamame, fruit.
Green olives, horse radish, Indian lentils.
And Jackfruit. Kale, lettuce.
Mango, nectarines, okra.
Potatoes, quinoa, rice.
Salad, tomato, unripe bananas.
Valencia orange, watermelon, xacuti curry spice.
Yam, and zucchini
Now that we went food shopping,
Time to put away the groceries.
(Chorus and end)
Happy plant day (the birthday song)
(Verse)
Are you the color green, or maybe you are blue?
You might be neither, so happy plant day to you.
Forests are forest green, and oceans are ocean blue.
Check your soil, put your roots down.
Happy plant-day to you.
(Chorus X 2)
Algae, cacti, and evergreen.
And potted plants too.
They breathe our air.
And we breathe theirs too.
(Verse)
We need the trees, they might need us too.
Homes for animals and treehouses.
Kites and berries too.
They give us shade.
When theres too much light.
No soil erosion.
Because trees protect us, right?!
(Chorus X 2)
Algae, cacti, and evergreen.
And potted plants too.
They breathe our air.
And we breathe theirs too.
Bacteria cafeteria (the compost song)
(Verse)
Bacteria, cafeteria. Compost in your area.
Backyard gardens to window sills.
Growing food to save your bill.
Bacteria the star of the show.
Along with air, the final blow.
(Chorus)
To break down the food. In a controlled rot.
Keeping food out the landfills. Doesn’t have to be a handful.
With a compost and gardening plot.
(Verse)
Banana peels or apple cores.
Time, air and bacteria do the chore.
Soil out the compost door.
Spread it on the garden floor.
(Chorus X 2 and end)
Look at all the berries
(Chorus)
Berries berries the best fruit.
Blackberries strawberries cloudberries too.
Cranberries, salmon berries red like fancy shoes.
Blueberries, elderberries are so blue.
(Verse)
Eat berries named after animals.
Leave them off your plate.
Like gooseberry, wolfberry and the other berries I ate.
Boysenberries, loganberries were named after scientists.
Eat all the berries for better health, the Doctor Insists.
(Chorus)
Berries berries the best fruit.
Blackberries strawberries cloudberries too.
Cranberries, salmon berries red like fancy shoes.
Blueberries, elderberries are so blue.
(Verse)
Mulberries are tasty, if raspberries won’t do.
Don’t eat berries if you have allergies.
You might wheeze or ac-hoo!
Huckleberries sweet but tart.
Like Huckleberry Finn, painting a fence and smiling.
Cloudberries will put you on cloud nine, rain piling.
(Chorus)
Berries berries the best fruit.
Blackberries strawberries cloudberries too.
Cranberries, salmon berries red like fancy shoes.
Blueberries, elderberries are so blue.
(Verse)
Down on the earth, Mother Nature grows other berries.
Like bilberries and blackcurrants too.
Elderberries keep you young but not wise.
As exercise and reading do.
Don’t be (sus)pect live eco friendly
Plant a tree for sustainability.
Forests all around me.
Don’t be (sus)pect live eco friendly.
Live sustainably help the word to see.
Animals living in the trees.
I see them and they see me.
Hemp over plastics regularly.
I live eco sustainably.
(Chorus)
Squirrels pigeons and raccoons.
Live sustainably.
Animals as leaders is the way I see.
To live eco sustainably.
(Verse )
The sound of rain instead of explosions.
Peace not war I wish they’d chosen.
Plant trees to prevent soil erosion.
Natural materials not Plastics will save our oceans.
(Chorus X 2 and end)
