Sesame Street - What Do You Do With A Fruit? - Текст песни

What do you do with a fruit? 
They're juicy and healthy and cute 
But to eat 'em it's true 
There's a few things to do 
If you wanna get through to a fruit 

Now first there's the peeling problem, very tricky 

Now bananas are nice with a soft easy skin 
Try peeling a melon what trouble you're in 
Now a grape is a pleasure there's nothing to do 
While a pineapple's tougher, let 'em fix it for you 
Give it to Mom, she'll cut some nice easy pieces for you 

Now an orange is tasty, the peel's rather thick 
But don't eat a lemon it'll make you go "Ick!" 
And grapefruit's are sour sometimes no one knows why 
And I wouldn't quite trust 'em they squirt in your eye! 


But a nectarine, now there's a fruit, a nectarine 
Where do such things come from? 
Half a peach, half a plum 
And very clean, you wash 'em so they're very clean 
And be sure when you do there's no bugs in there too 

What do you do with a fruit? 
They're squishy and run down your suit 
But you really can't beat 'em so bite in and eat 'em 
They really deserve a salute 
Every apple and cherry has me feeling merry 
I love every strawberry, raspberry--very 
I think I'll just holler and hoot 
'Cause that's what you do with a fruit 
They're quite a pear!
