Clean Your Plate – Lyrics, MP3 and more

In this song, the youngest one in the family learns how to eat. We also sing about regular family life and prayer around the table.

Lyrics

Sleepyheads, we’ll start the day,
To the bathroom race away,
Brush our teeth and wash our face,
Dress up nice and tie the lace.

Mother says it’s time for breakfast
When we’ve just begun our play.
We come romping all around
To the kitchen right away.

Daddy says a little prayer
We are sitting nice and still,
Mommy tells me: “Clean your plate!”
But I never will.

Later on, when school is over,
We come home in time for lunch,
Tiny hands are clean and ready
For a fine, delicious munch.

Hungry tummies stop the playing,
Every toy will have to wait,
Then we pick a tiny quarrel
And forget about the plate.

Daddy says a little prayer
We are sitting nice and still,
Mommy tells me: “Clean your plate!”
But I never will.

In the evening we are starving,
Players crave for savoury food.
Fun and games are not that easy,
But we’re getting something good.

We are tired but aware
Of the smell that’s in the air.
Dinner’s ready, but our feet
Have to run around a bit.

Daddy says a little prayer
We are sitting nice and still,
Mommy tells me: “Clean your plate!”
But I never will.
