Healthy children

Healthy children everywhere,

Exercise and breathe fresh air,

Soap and water we have seen,

They keep hands and faces clean.

Healthy children often smile,

As they stop to rest a while,

Learning each day as they should,

To take time to eat pure food.

Healthy children bow to you,

We are very happy too,

See the toothbrush on parade,

of the germs we’re not afraid.

Healthy children all in turn,

Say we have so much to learn,

to stay healthy is the best plan

and we all know that we can.

Healthy children everywhere,

Exercise and breathe fresh air.
