Correlation with English Poem to make students aware of importance of balanced diet. Junk Food Judy snacked all day and all night. Eating all the twinkies, pies, and cookies in sight. She gobbled tons of pizza, hotdogs, and burgers, too. And washed them down with cola drinks when she was through. Chorus: She was the Junk Food Queen. (That was Judy. ) If you know what I mean. (Judy, Judy. ) She never ate a balanced meal at any time. But she snacked morning, noon, and night right up to bedtime. That was Judy. Junk food Judy. When Junk Food Judy got up every day, She didn’t have the energy to go out and play. While the other kids had fun playing games outside, Judy and her snacks stayed inside to hide Repeat Chorus: Bridge: One day Judy decided she was through. She was tired of sitting alone and feeling blue. She knew she needed energy to run and play. So she tossed all her junk food snacks away. Judy quit her junk food habits as I say, And started eating balanced meals three times a day. She joined the other kids who liked to play, run, and swim. And was so surprised to find that she was fit and trim. Chorus: She was the Junk Food Queen. (That was Judy. ) If you know what I mean. (Judy, Judy. ) Now she eats fruits and vegetables every day. And she’s got good eating habits that are here to stay. Now that’s Judy. Used to be Junk Food Judy.
