about

The Slugs' all-time NUMERO UNO favorite song. This one has been in a movie (Dirt the Movie!) and used in summer camps, gardens and classrooms around the world.

lyrics

Chorus:
Dirt made my lunch.
Dirt made my lunch.
Thank you, dirt, thanks a bunch
for my salad, my sandwich,
my milk and my munch ‘cause
dirt, you made my lunch.

Dirt is a word that we often use,
when we’re talkin’ about the earth
beneath our shoes.
It’s a place where plants
can sink their toes;
in a little while, a garden grows.
Chorus…

A farmer’s plow will
tickle the ground.
You know the earth has laughed
when wheat is found.
The grain is taken and
flour is ground
for making a sandwich
to munch on down.
Chorus…
