What Do You Do With A Fruit? Lyrics - Sesame Street

What do you do with a fruit? 

They're juicy and healthy and cute 

But to eat 'em it's true 

There's a few things to do 

If you wanna get through to a fruit 

Now first there's the peeling problem, very tricky 

Now bananas are nice with a soft easy skin 

Try peeling a melon what trouble you're in 

Now a grape is a pleasure there's nothing to do 

While a pineapple's tougher, let 'em fix it for you 

Give it to Mom, she'll cut some nice easy pieces for you 

Now an orange is tasty, the peel's rather thick 

But don't eat a lemon it'll make you go "Ick!" 

And grapefruit's are sour sometimes no one knows why 

And I wouldn't quite trust 'em they squirt in your eye! 

But a nectarine, now there's a fruit, a nectarine 

Where do such things come from? 

Half a peach, half a plum 

And very clean, you wash 'em so they're very clean 

And be sure when you do there's no bugs in there too
