The soup is boiling up
The soup is boiling up
Stir slow-around we go

Now we add some carrots
Stir slow-around we go
The soup is boiling up.

Vegetables  

Original Author: Unknown

Sung to: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”

We are pumpkins, big and round
Big and round, big and round
We are pumpkins, big and round
Seated on the ground.
 
We are string beans, green and fine…..
Growing on a vine.
We are onions, round and white….
We make soup taste right.
We are carrots, orange and long…
Help us sing our song.
We are cabbage, green or red….
See our funny head.
We are corn stalks, tall and straight….
Don’t we just taste great.

And peas too! And peas too!
