SONG!: Food Webby Web

“It’s a Food Web”
by Food Webby Web
(From Bill Nye, The Science Guy’s “Food Web” episode)

Well take a look at my plate
It’s a site…
’Cause it’s piled with food
Well I’m looking it over
And it looks so good
’Cause I got milk,
I got meat,
I got pasta ’n bread
I got chicken ’n egg rolls
’N processed cheese spread
I got ice cream
I got whip cream
I got tacos
I got fish
But none of it seems like a vegetable dish
But the truth of the matter of this food situation
Is that all of these things get their start with vegetation

It’s the food web
It’s the food web

You see meat has to eat
And noodles need wheat
Yeah, we need plants for the things that we eat
’Cause sugar needs cane
’N honey needs bees
That get pollen from the flowers and the fields and the trees
But maybe now you’re asking
“Hey, what’s a plant need?”
They gotta come from something
Yeah ya’ know they gotta feed
Well, a plant needs water
’N a plant needs sun
Dirt, carbon dioxide, ’n oxygen

It’s the food web
It’s the food web
