What Do You Do With A Fruit?

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!
