When I sit down to eat,
I think of the Lord's gifts of breath and feed,
as I sit down in my cushy seat,
when I sit down to eat.
When I sit down to eat,
the food tastes so good
that it goes right to my feet,
when I sit down to eat!
When I sit down to eat
my eggs become planes,
my grains become trains,
my peas become bees,
when I sit down to eat!
When I sit down to eat,
my Mumsy always sits down
right beside me in her seat.
Her spoon becomes the feet
that propels the train,
the bees and the bundles,
right into my mouth
that becomes the great big tunnel,
when I sit down to eat!
When I sit down to eat
I always become full,
for I have eaten the entire house,
the tub and the whole bull,
when I sit down to eat!
Yes with Mommy's help
I shall never be hungry,
for we always clasp
our hands to say thanks,
just to pray for the blessings
of others instead of ourselves,
when I sit down to eat!
