Gov. Plate

Are you ready
are you ready to choose
the food on your plate?
Are you ready
are you ready to attain
a very healthy weight.
Let’s follow the rules
and be real smart.
All we have to do is follow
the Gov. plate chart
Make your plate half full
of veggies and fruits.
Bananas, Broccoli, Beans,
or tuberous roots.
The veggies can be plain or
mighty spicy.
The fruits will taste sweet
and mighty juicy.
Oh, juicy spicy juicy spicy
tuberous roots.
Spicy juicy spicy juicy
very sweet fruits.
We place them on our plates
and push and pull.
With veggies and fruits
the plate is always half full!
Gov. plate, Gov. plate,
it’s simple to do.
Just give it a try
and it will work for you.
Staying healthy and trim
is your obligation.
Singing this song
is your motivation.
So, half veggie fruits
and one quarter whole grains.
Your not just feeding your body
but also your brains.
So, half veggie fruits
and one quarter lean meats.
Slop it on your plate
and now it’s complete.
Gov. plate, Gov. plate,
it’s simple to do.
Just give it a try
and it will work for you.
Staying healthy and trim
is your obligation
Singing this song
is your motivation.
Now, you might be feeling
a little thirsty.
You might be thinking
about a little dairy.
Just don’t drink nothing crazy
have some common sense
if you’re going to drink milk
fat free or 1%.
Gov. plate, Gov. plate,
it’s simple to do.
Just give it a try
and it will work for you.
Staying healthy and trim
is your obligation.
Singing this song
is your motivation.
Drinking water
is the choice of the fit and thin.
Don’t drink lots of soda
and you always will win.
So, water is the choice
that you usually should make.
Get plenty of exercise
It’s time to retake.
Your body is a temple.
It’s time to remake.
Soon you’ll be healthy
and feeling great.
Oh, follow the rules
of the Gov. plate!
Just follow the rules
of the Gov. plate!
Follow the rules
of the Gov. plate!
Just follow the rules
of the Government plate!
