Fussy Eater Song
(To tune of “Mulberry Bush”)
This is the way we eat our food,
Eat our food, eat our food
This is how we eat our food,
The fussy eater way

Nibble, nibble, pick-pick-pick
Pick-pick-pick, pick-pick-pick
Nibble, nibble, pick-pick-pick
The fussy eater way

Before I Eat My Meals
(To the tune of: “Happy & You Know It”)Oh, before I eat my meals, I wash my hands
Oh, before I eat my meals, I wash my hands
Oh it’s very smart I think – to wash those germs right down the sink
Oh, before I eat my meals, I wash my hands

Oh before I eat my meals, I set my place
Oh before I eat my meals, I set my place
With a fork a knife a spoon, and a plate, there’s lots of room
Oh before I eat my meals, I set my place

Oh, before I eat my meals, I pass the food
Oh, before I eat my meals, I pass the food
Oh, it would be very rude, if I didn’t share the food
Oh, before I eat my meals, I pass the food

If You're Friendly And You Know It  (Tune of "Happy and You Know It")
...wave hello
... just say please
... say "thank you"
... say you're sorry

This is the Way We
This is the way we pass the food,
Pass the food, pass the food
This is the way we pass the food,
When we’re at the dinner table…

This is the way we say please and thank you,
Please and thank you, please and thank you
This is the way we say please and thank you
When we’re at the dinner table…

Then we say, “Can I be excused?”
Can I be excused? Can I be excused?
Then we say, “Can I be excused”
To leave the dinner table…

Three Nice Mice
(To the tune of: "Three Blind Mice")
Three nice mice, three nice mice
See how nice they are, see how nice they are
They're always polite when they nibble their cheese
They never forget to say thank you or please
They cover their noses whenever they sneeze
Those three nice mice...
