Lyrics
I'm a fruit monster, Feed my thirst
I'm a fruit-splosion, Ready to burst
Squish, splash, splat, crash!
That's how I eat my fruit
I would climb Mt. Everest
For one bite of apple - they’re the best
I would fly to Savannah
Just to peel me one banana
I would jump from here to Hawaii
To find myself a single fuzzy kiwi
If I’m out of fruit and need some more
I would even go to the grocery store
I'm a fruit monster, Feed my thirst
I'm a fruit-splosion, Ready to burst
Squish, splash, splat, crash!
That's how I eat my fruit
Bake me a cake, I’ll smash it
Give me a cookie, I’ll trash it
I don't mean to be so rude
But I won't eat any junk food
Eating fruit is my passion
I could even wear it as a fashion
There's only one thing you can do
To make me happier - eat fruit too!
I'm a fruit monster, Feed my thirst
I'm a fruit-splosion, Ready to burst
squish, splash, splat, crash!
That's how I eat my fruit
That's how I eat my
fruit!
