Classic Nursery Rhyme

It's Good for You!

Hot mush and molasses all in a blue bowl

Eat it, it’s good for you, sonny.

’Twill make you grow tall as a telephone pole

Eat it, it’s good for you, sonny.

Fresh fish and potatoes all on a blue plate

Eat it up smart now, my sonny.

’Twill make you as jolly and fat as Aunt Kate

Eat it up quick now, my sonny.


Sweet milk from a nanny goat in a blue cup

Drink it, it’s good for you, sonny,

’Twill fill you, expand you, and help you grow up,

And make a real man of you, sonny.
