There's broccoli on my plate, and spinach too,
I wrinkle my nose, and don't know what to do.
Mom stands firm, with a look that says,
"Finish your dinner, or you'll have extra chores to do"
I don't like it, but she says eat it anyway,
Finish your dinner, or you don't get to play.
Carrots and peas, they're not my friends,
But I gotta eat 'em, before the day ends.
There's fish on my fork, staring back at me,
I'd rather be outside, climbing a tree.
Mom's voice is clear, no room for sway,
"Finish your dinner, or no games today."
I don't like it, but she says eat it anyway,
Finish your dinner, or you don't get to play.
Carrots and peas, they're not my friends,
But I gotta eat 'em, before the day ends.
I dream of candy and ice cream cones,
But here I sit, feeling all alone.
Mom says with love, "It's good for you,"
I sigh and chew, what else can I do?
I clean my plate, every last bite,
Mom gives a smile, says, "Now that's right!"
Outside I run, ready to play,
Dinner's done, it's time to save the day.
I don't like it, but she says eat it anyway,
Finish your dinner, or you don't get to play.
Carrots and peas, they're not my friends,
But I gotta eat 'em, before the day ends.
So if you're stuck at the dinner table,
Remember this song, and you'll be able.
Finish your dinner, and then you'll see,
Fun and games, as it should be.
