Intro
Sit down, everybody - it's dinner time!
Verse 1
Nibs pushed the plate a little away.
Lilly held a spoon out - "just try today!"
One tiny taste... then Nibs went still...
Then Nibs grinned so big - "I like it! I will!"
Chorus
Look at it... hmm... I don't know!
You don't have to love it - just ONE bite, here we go!
Wait for it, wait for it... eyes go WIDE -
MMMM! Try one bite!
Verse 2
A little green tree on Lilly's plate.
Lilly looked left, looked right... and ATE!
Lilly went GREEN from their head to their toe -
"Mmmmm!" said Lilly. "Now I know!"
Chorus
Look at it... hmm... I don't know!
You don't have to love it - just ONE bite, here we go!
Wait for it, wait for it... eyes go WIDE -
MMMM! Try one bite!
Verse 3
Mimi tastes a strawberry - Mimi turns RED!
Blueberry blue, then banana instead!
Poff munches everything - CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH!
Chorus
Look at it... hmm... I don't know!
You don't have to love it - just ONE bite, here we go!
Wait for it, wait for it... eyes go WIDE -
MMMM! Try one bite!

The most direct song in the catalogue about the thing parents actually ask for. It never argues: the chorus says “you don’t have to love it — just one bite”, and then waits. The pause before “eyes go WIDE” is the whole song.
Nibs goes first, because Nibs is the one who says no. Lilly eats something green and turns green from head to toe, Mimi changes colour with each berry, and Poff simply eats everything. Four different ways of arriving at the same plate, and none of them is held up as the right one.
