Dirt Made My Lunch
What did you have for lunch? This Earth Day we are reminded where our food comes from.
Let's sing and dance!
CHORUS:
Dirt made my lunch,
Dirt made my lunch.
Thank you Dirt, thanks a bunch,
For my salad, my sandwich
My milk and my munch 'cause
Dirt, you made my lunch.
Dirt is a word that we often use,
When we're talkin' about the earth beneath our shoes.
It's a place where plants can sink their toes;
In a little while a garden grows.
CHORUS
A farmer's plow will tickle the ground,
You know the earth has laughed when wheat is found.
The grain is taken and flour is ground,
For making a sandwich to munch on down.
CHORUS
A stubby green beard grows upon the land,
Out of the soil the grass will stand.
But under hoof it must bow,
For making milk by way of a cow.
CHORUS

• What is in your lunch? What are the main ingredients?
• Where does it come from? What does it eat? Where did it grow?
