The Rainbow Song

This song is a key part of the show, and the workshops. The chorus is sung by all the children, and the two other verses are sung by Ben and Lizzie in the show. The content of the second two verses are explored during the workshops. (Please do not reproduce without permission.)

Chorus: A rainbow is a coloured arc of beauty we can see.
Our bodies need a mix of food of such diversity.
The veg and fruit before our eyes is of such quality,
You’ll be fit and strong, it won’t take long, variety is key.

Green and Red and Yellow and Blue and Orange and Purple and Brown….
This mix is like the mix in food, just listen I’ll tell you how.
Bananas and Beans, Carrots, Beetroots, Porridge and Water and Bread.
The colours we see in food we eat are colours of goodness instead.

The goodness of colours in food we eat all work in harmony,
The oils in veg, the folate in fruit can help your memory.
Iron and Protein, the Vitamin list, Calcium, Water and Zinc…
Eat different fruit and veg each day it will help your brain to think!

Chorus: A rainbow is a coloured arc of beauty we can see.
Our bodies need a mix of food of such diversity.
The veg and fruit before our eyes is of such quality,
You’ll be fit and strong, it won’t take long, variety is key.
