Magical Food - Malvina Reynolds

Take a bite of mystical, magical food,

It’s good.

Take a bite of carrot,

You’ll become a parrot,

Take a bite of cheese,

You’ll be a Pekinese,

Take a bite of slaw,

You’ll be a macaw,

Take a bite of mystical, magical food,

It’s good.

Take a bite of steak,

You’ll become a snake,

Take a bite of tea,

You’ll become a bee,

Take some macaroni,

You’ll become a pony,

Take a bite of mystical, magical food,

It’s good.

Take a bite of cider,

You’ll become a spider,

Take a bite of veal,

You’ll become a seal,

Take a bite of lamb,

You’ll become a clam,

Take a bite of mystical, magical food,

It’s good.

Take a bite of rice,

You’ll become a mice,

Take a bite of goose,

You’ll become a moose,

Take a bite of egg,

You’ll sit up and beg

For a treat,

Of mystical, magical, something to eat.
