Lantern Serenade
Words and Music by Robert C. McKinley
Colored lanterns shining bright, Sharpen up the appetite,
See how the lanterns glow, Like all the foods that make us grow.
Some are paper, some are silk, Red as apples, white as milk, Salads and other
greens, And oranges and tangerines. Food of every hue,
Sparkles here for you, Eggs and butter too, To
mention just a few. Every day we add to these, Cereal and
meat and cheese, Colors that never fade, Are in the lantern serenade.
