(background singer monsters--- Oh No! )
I had never tasted it
Had never tried it sooo
Then one day my Dad said have some cereal with me
( with me! )
Cereal tastes really good and it's healthfull you'll see
And now I am a cereal girl
I said I'll taste it, I'll give it a whirl
And now I am a cereal girl
First I tried cold cereal
with milk and it was hip
( So Hip! )
Then I tried hot cereal
and that was such a trip
Then I tried some cereal with fruit
Healthfully sweet
(Healthfully Sweet! )
Now for breakfast cereal's my favorite thing to eat
I'm glad I said I'll taste it, I'll give a whirl
'Cause now I am a cereal girl
I'm glad I said I'll taste it, I'll give a whirl
'Cause now I am a cereal girl
(Girl, Girl, She's A Cereal Girl)
Cereal
(Girl, She's A Cereal Girl)
Cereal
(Girl, Girl, She's A Cereal Girl)
Cereal
(Girl, She's A Cereal Girl)
repeat and fade.....
The Sesame Street song "Cereal Girl" is a fun and catchy tune about a young girl who had never tried cereal until her dad introduced her to it. The lyrics describe how the girl was hesitant to try something new, but after giving it a chance, she fell in love with it. She first tried cold cereal with milk, then hot cereal as well as cereal with fruit. The girl discovered that cereal was not only delicious, but also healthy. She concludes the song by saying she is now a "cereal girl" and cereal has become her favorite breakfast food.
On the surface, the song may seem like a simple and lighthearted tune aimed at encouraging kids to try new foods and to eat healthily. However, upon closer inspection, the song might also be interpreted as a metaphor for life. Just as the girl was hesitant to try cereal, many people may be hesitant to try new experiences or take risks. But by giving things a chance, they may discover something that they love and that brings them joy.
Overall, "Cereal Girl" is a fun and wholesome song for children that encourages them to try new things and to prioritize their health.
