lyrics

Dirt Made My Lunch
(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 we often use, when we’re talking about the earth beneath our shoes.
It’s a place where plants can sink their toes, and 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)

A stubby green beard grows upon the land. Out of the soil, the grass will stand.
But under hoof it must bow for making milk by way of a cow.
(Chorus)
