In the fridge what do I see?
Strawberries we save for tea
What shall we have for our tea?
For our tea, for our tea
What shall we have for our tea?
Not today, On Sunday
I see big red strawberries
Strawberries, strawberries
I bit big red straberries
For my tea on Sunday.

On our birthday we add cream
Thickest cream you've ever seen
That is such a lovely dream
On next birthday we'll have cream
Toys' food's ready every dawn
For yellow teddy bears and a blue unicorn
Well give food them which gives them joy
All the wooden and soft toys
For toy kittens and a puppy
Serve whatever makes them happy
Healthy food which does them good
On plastic plates, fruit made from wood

For my breakfast what do I see?
I see big red strwberries
Maybe we should save them for tea
Big and small red strwberries.
We went out to pick the fruit

In supermarkets and small shops
Bananas and raspberries - not chocolate drops
Durian is served in season
Banned on buses for a reason
They smell bad to somebody
Never mind, there's more for me.
I see figs and I see dates
In the bowls and on the plates
We will have fruit salad soon
On the table, served with spoons.
On my birthday I will choose
Fruit that's red or pink or blue
On my birthday I can choose
To share it with my friends and you
I imagine thick white cream
What a lovely coloured dream
I imagine thick white cream
What a lovely coloured dream.
I will share it all with you
Green and yellow, red and blue
I will share it all with you
It's a dream which could come true.
I thought I'd share my thoughts with you
It's a dream, let's make it true.
Coloured fruit, in red and blue
It's a dream, let's make it true.
