JOIN ME IN SINGING THE WILD BLUEBERRY SONG
WE ALL KNOW THE LION IS THE KING OF BEASTS
BUT WILD BLUEBERRIES ARE THE KING OF TREATS
BEFORE SETTLERS CROSSED THE SEA BY WIND AND SAIL
BLUEBERRIES WERE HUNTED WITHOUT RAKE OR PAIL
NATIVE NORTH AMERICANS IN CANADA AND MAINE
STALKED US ON THE ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN
THE BLACK BEARS STILL COME TO HUNT US TOO
THE WISE BEAR KNOWS A THING OR TWO
MUNCHING ON BLUEBERRIES ALL THE TIME
MAY, HELP YOU SLOW DOWN THE MARCH OF TIME
REPEAT CHORUS
THE AIR, SEA, AND SOIL, THE NORTHERN NIGHTS AND DAYS
TURN WILD BLUEBERRIES INTO NATURE’S HEALTH CRAZE
WE’RE BLUE, WE’RE SWEET, WE’RE A SUCCULENT TREAT
WE’RE THE NUMBER ONE HEALTH FOOD. WE CAN’T BE BEAT
WHEN HONEYBEES DO WHAT THEY DO IN THE SPRING
THEY HELP GIVE US OUR SPECIAL ZING
SO, TRY A TASTE THATS OUT OF SIGHT
EAT WILD BLUE BERRIES MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT
REPEAT CHORUS
CAPTURED WILD BLUEBERRIES CAN BE FOUND
IN YOUR SUPERMARKET ALL YEAR ROUND
BUT IF YOU’RE REAL SMART YOU DON’T NEED TO GO FAR
FIND US AT HOME IN THE FRIDGE OR JAR
