Finger Foods
Chorus:
Finger foods, finger foods
I pick 'em up and pop 'em in
Smoosh 'em on my cheeks and chin
Eat 'em with a happy grin
Finger foods, finger foods
When I'm in a hungry mood
Momma, won't you please include
Some good old finger foods?

What to you is one big mess
To me is total happiness
I love to touch and feel the things I eat
I pat 'em with my pudgy hand
Hopin' that you'll understand
As I grow, I'll stay more clean and neat

Mashed potatoes, crushed tomatoes
Apple bites and bits of meat
Globs and globs of cereal
There's so much good food to eat!

Repeat Chorus:

I pinch 'em with my fingertips
Smack 'em in my hungry lips
Now don't go saying baby's being rude
When I press peas in my palm
Please don't panic, just stay calm
It's my way of learning about food
Jouncing, bouncing in my seat
Daddy ring the dinner chime
Plop those pieces on my plate
Every meal's a party time!

Repeat Chorus:
