Thank a Farmer

If you ate a meal today

Thank a Farmer.

If you enjoyed your food today

Thank a Farmer.

If you had a drink today

Thank a Farmer.

Please stop for a moment

And thank their work and the soil.

For the bread on the table

And milk in the jug,

For a bacon sandwich

Give a farmer a hug.

For the eggs and tomatoes

Mushrooms and sausages too.

Thank a Farmer

That's what you should do.

For the steak and the onions

For the potato chips,

For the beer in the glass

That you pour between your lips.

For the apples and pears

You find in the fruit dish.

Oh, and thank the fishermen

For catching you some fish.

For wool and for leather

For carrots and for peas,

For lamb, pork and chicken

Butter, yoghurt and cheese,

For ice cream and cornflakes

For biscuits and cakes.

Thank the British Farmer

For all the effort he makes

If you ate a meal today

Thank a Farmer.

If you enjoyed your food today

Thank a Farmer.

If you had a drink today

Thank a Farmer.

Please stop for a moment

And thank their work and the soil.

Thank the British Farmer

For all the effort he makes.
