about

Did you know that 2/3's of the world now live in apartments in cities?
This means that many children don't always understand where our food comes from, or even which animals you might find on a farm.
This song is a snippet from life in our valley in the South Island of NZ.
My hope is that it's as catchy as it is enlightening.

lyrics

Throw out the grain
A. van Riel

I’m feeding the chookies with my Mum
Feeding the chookies is so much fun
Feeding the chookies in the afternoon
They gonna lay a big egg soon

Throw out the grain, throw out the grain
Fill up the bucket and do it again
Throw out the corn, throw out the corn
Load up the truck and toot the horn
SPACE HERE
I’m feeding the piggies with my Dad
Feeding a piggy makes a piggy feel glad
They like scraps and they like waste
It’s a little stinky but they like the taste

Throw out the grain, throw out the grain
Fill up the bucket and do it again
Throw out the corn, throw out the corn
Load up the truck and toot the horn

I’m grateful for the sun
And I’m grateful for the land
They give so much to me
So I will give a helping hand

I’m feeding the lamby all by myself
Put that bottle right in his mouth
He’s so soft and cute and sweet
All day long I hear him bleat

Throw out the grain, throw out the grain
Fill up the bucket and do it again
Throw out the corn, throw out the corn
Load up the truck and toot the horn

Rooster crow, the sun shines bright
Milking the cow in the morning light
Thank you for my morning cream
Porridge tastes just like a dream
