From the band's own website:
"The Movers – Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty -- began in New Orleans in 2003 and now are fast-rising stars on the national kids music scene thanks to their combination of radio-friendly songs, kid-friendly themes and dynamic live shows. In concert, the Movers teach high-energy dances, play games with the audience and make music on their one-of-a-kind trashcan drumset. Kids and parents help perform new kids classics like “Shakable You,” “The Medicine Song,” “What’s in the Fridge?” and "I Want My Mommy (Time for Bed).""
and:
"In 2007, Disney Channel green-lighted a Movers television series for Playhouse Disney featuring Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty as blue-collar brainstormers working hard to solve “idea emergencies” in their Idea Warehouse, a clearinghouse of infinite inspirations. Through songs, stories and skits, the Movers move kids to exercise their bodies and brains."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This song goes out to all the leftovers
What's in the fridge? (What's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge? (What's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge now, fridge now, huh?
What's in the fridge? (What's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge? (What's in the fridge?)
When I say "hot", you say "dog"
Hot dog, hot diggity dog
When I say "mac", you say "cheese"
Mac, cheese, mac, cheese
When I say "pizza", you say "slice"
Pizza slice, pizza slice
When I say "chicken", you say "rice"
Chicken and rice, it tastes so nice
What's in the fridge? (What's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge? (What's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge now, fridge now, huh?
What's in the fridge? (What's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge? (What's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge now, fridge now, huh?
My stomach was a-rumbling, a-grumbling and a-tumbling
I was fumbling to get to the fridge
For bologna or ham or lettuce and Spam
And by the way, one hundred flapjacks
I was running and a-drooling, my tummy I'd be fueling
With the treats that soon lay ahead (To the fridge)
I was thinking about eating and all that I'd been drinking
As I opened the door to the fridge
What's in the fridge? (What's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge? (Now what's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge now, fridge now, huh?
What's in the fridge? (What's in the fridge?)
Now what's in the fridge? (Now what's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge now, fridge now, huh?
When I say "chocolate", you say "milk"
Chocolate milk, chocolate milk
When I say "carrot", you say "stick"
Carrot stick, carrot stick
When I say "apple", you say "juice"
Apple juice, apple juice
When I say "ham", you say "burger"
Hamburger, hamburger
Ha, come on
Put your right hand out and open the door
Put your hands on your knees, see what you're hungry for
Put both hands in, take out what you need
Now shut the door so you don't freeze
Put your right hand out and open the door
Put your hands on your knees, see what you're hungry for
Put both hands in, take out what you need
Now shut the door so you don't freeze
Fridge (What's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge? (What's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge now, fridge now, huh?
What's in the fridge? (Now what's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge? (What's in the fridge?)
What's in the fridge now, fridge now, huh?
