Lyrics[]
(Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!)
There are tiny microorganisms everywhere
On every apple, every apricot, banana, and pear
They're bacteria and fungi, too tiny to see
But they gotta have dinner just like you and me
Those itty-bitty creatures just eat, eat, eat
Through a cherry or a berry (and it's totally sweet)
It's a natural process, it happens a lot
It's called decomposition, in other words, rot
(Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!)
When a ripe and juicy melon looks delicious to you
A zillion tiny creatures want a piece of it too
So, if you put it out and leave it, sitting day after day
They'll just keep snacking 'til it's rotting away
Because the teeny tiny creatures just eat, eat, eat
Through a peach or papaya (and it's really a treat)
When a fruit goes soft or has a mushy spot
That's decomposition, in other words, rot
Decomposition (Yum, yum) in other words, rot
