My wife, Nelly, is taking an early Childhood Education class.  I did this to help her on her final project.
If you want to grow up big and strong, Listen here, you won't go wrong. If you want to grow, grow, grow, Choose all the colors from the rainbow. We never get enough of green-- Here's the kinds of foods I mean: Grapes, avocados, lettuce, cabbage, green beans, spinach, lentils, kiwis, honeydew melons,peas, bell peppers... If you want to grow, grow, grow, Choose yellow from the rainbow. bananas, lemons, golden apples, summer squash, butter, yellow peppers, ... If you want to grow, grow, grow, Choose orange from the rainbow. Cheeses, carrots, mangoes, cantaloups, apricots, peaches, pumpkins, oranges... If you want to grow, grow, grow, Choose red from the rainbow. Strawberries, cherries, tomatoes, meats, raspberries, grapes, watermelons, apples, plums, red peppers, radishes, beets, ... If you want to grow, grow, grow, Choose purple and blue from the rainbow. Grapes, cabbage, plums, eggplant, blueberries, ... If you want to grow, grow, grow, Choose brown from the rainbow. Meat, potatoes, pears, coconuts, nuts, whole-grain breads ... If you want to grow, grow, grow, Choose white from the rainbow. Eggs, cheese, parsnips, fish, onions, milk, yogurt, (chorus) The greater the variety, The healthier you'll always be. Meat, eggs and dairies grains, fruits, and veggies. To wash them down there's nothing better Than big glasses of water.

Actually, I'm a type 2 diabetic that still eats too much chocolate and pasta (but I don't drink). My wife works at a Navy daycare center, and takes classes in Early Childhood Education/Child Development. I made up the song for her to use as an activity for munchkins. Thanks for commenting.
