Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
It's Amazing How A Little Sunshine
Some Dirt And Water And A Little Time
Grow Fruits And Vegetables Of Every Kind
Put A Little Sunshine In Your Mouth

Chase Those Tired Blues Away
You Only Need Five Servings A Day
You'll Have More Energy To Run And Play
Put A Little Sunshine In Your Mouth

(Chorus)
Put A Little Sunshine In Your Mouth
'Cause Bein' Healthy's What It's All About
It'll Make You're Whole Body Wanna Scream And Shout
Put A Little Sunshine In Your Mouth

(Verse 2)
Just Take That Ripe Banana Peel
Pull It Down And Make A Meal
You Won't Believe How Good You'll Feel
Put A Little Sunshine In Your Mouth

Put Some Veggies In Your Hand
Very Soon You'll Feel Grand
Your Heart Will Beat Like A Marching Band
Put A Little Sunshine In Your Mouth

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
Just Take That Ripe Banana Peel
Pull It Down And Make A Meal
You Won't Believe How Good You'll Feel
Put A Little Sunshine In Your Mouth

If You Want To Shine Like A Super Star
It Makes No Difference Just Who You Are
Fruit And Vegetables Will Take You Far
Put A Little Sunshine In Your Mouth

Just Sitting Still Is Such A Bore
So What On Earth Are You Waiting For
Your Health Is Knocking At The Door
Put A Little Sunshine In Your Mouth

(Chorus)

Put A Little Sunshine In Your Mouth
Put A Little Sunshine In Your Mouth
Put A Little Sunshine In Your Mouth
