“That was one of my favorite songs learned in primary many years ago. I remember it very clearly because of the way the chorister introduced the song. She had one of the Primary boys all dressed up like a carrot and sitting a in a little tub. There he sat just grinning at us from under his green carrot top hat. I thought it was so funny! I finally recognized the carrot as being Dickie Lambert, a boy that lived just through the block from us. We eagerly learned the song after that introduction. We sang it for years and years. Later when I had children of my own, I used to sing this song to them to help them more readily eat their vegetables. It worked!”
Here are the words to it:
Little brother vegetable sat within a dish,
Cooked and seasoned spicily as you’d ever wish.
Said little brother vegetable just you look at me,
I’m the food of hidden treasure, eat me and you’ll see!
And here are the queue cards we used to hold up as my kids sang it. The art was especially done by muahh. :) I know, I know, it's a-mazing. lol
Now, I thought this was going to be an easy take because we practiced it first and everyone did great! I should've been filming the practice because it didn't go as smoothly after that...
Enjoy! Here is the final video:
*The first 30 seconds just shows what the DVD menu looks like. The boys all have stickers on their heads and they light up when you go to each chapter. :)
