Mr Apple and Mr Carrot both shook hands
They had decided to call up a truce
So the vegetables and fruit pack both agreed
They were simply losing too much juice

"Lets be friends together and party on
And promise that we'll really try"
But no sooner had they said these words
Entered Mr Onion with a big black eye

"As quickly as we make this truce
You fruit pack go back on your call"
"Oh no," cried Mr Onion, "It wasn't them
It was Mr Sausage and his friend, Meat Ball"

"So the meat parcel want a war then
Well, we'll show them who is boss
We fruit and veg will pull together
It will really be the meat parcel's loss"

So the fight began, and it was grusome
Mr Turnip broke Mr T-Bones back
And Mr Swede jumped on Mr Sausage
Turned them all into a neat flat pack

So the fruit and veg had a victory march
While the meat parcel crawled off in defeat
So eat you're fruit and veg good children
And stay away from fatty red meat
