Lyrics

If you fall off your bike and you skin your knee
What helps you heal heal heal?
Vitamin C C C.
Cause healthy skin skin skin
Needs collagen gen gen,
Which is made from a vitamin
Called C.

CHO:
You can get it from an orange,
You can get it from a grapefruit,
You can get it from a cantaloupe or a honey dew.
There is plenty in a strawberry, dewberry,
Blackberry, blueberry,
Bing cherry, nectarine or peach.
There is plenty of Vitamin C in each.


If I feel a cold coming over me-me-me
Some say that C-C-C
Will make it flee-flee-flee.
Still others disagree
Most heartily-ly-ly.
It's the age-old Vitamin C Controversy.

No. Si. No. Si, si, si. No no!
Still, no one can dispute,
There's Vitamin C in fruit.

Chorus

Now you'll find other foods with C
Like artichoke and broccoli,
Cabbage, carrots, collard greens,
Spinach and wax beans.
Parsnips, sweet potatoes,
Turnips, stewed tomatoes.
How about a Brussel sprout?
Let's go back to the fruit!

I'd rather get it from a lemon.
I'd rather suck on a persimmon.
I'd rather get it from a pineapple
Or a juicy quince.

Chorus.

If you want to be-be-be
Totally healthy-thy-thy
Here's a reciipe-pe-pe
That will guarantee-tee-tee
That you get enough of the proper stuff,
That you get enough of the stuff
And the stuff is what-what-what?
Vitamin C.
Si. Si. No! Yes!!
Vitamin C!!!
