The Most Important Meal of the Day

The Most Important Meal of the Day is a Sesame Street song about the importance of breakfast.

Lyrics
Woman in Toque: You wake up in the morning. The sun is shining bright. You're going to start another day. You'd better start it right. You wash yourself and brush your teeth, put sneakers on your feet, but before you go and play you got to eat.

Milk: Breakfast.

Banana: Breakfast.

Juice: Breakfast.

Muffin: Breakfast.

Cereal: Breakfast!

Cereal and Woman in Toque: It's the most important meal of the day. It's the most important meal of the day. Compared to lunch and dinner, breakfast clearly is the winner. It's the most important meal of the day.

Woman in Toque: Miss Susie ate no breakfast before she went to school. She didn't think she needed it; she thought that it was cruel. But when she hit the playground she was much too tired to play without the most important meal of the day.

Food: Of the day, of the day, of the day, of the day.

Woman in Toque: It's the most important meal of the day. Don't ever wait till luncheon. The morning's time for munching on the most important meal of the day.

(and what do we eat? I'll tell you!)

Banana: A piece of fruit.

Orange: Or orange juice, with or without the pits.

Cereal: Some cereal.

Muffin: Or a muffin or some pancakes.

Cereal: Or some grits.

Milk: A glass of milk is what you need to send you on your way.

Food: We're the most important meal of the day.

Food and Woman in Toque: So if you're into eating, breakfast can't be beaten. It's the most important meal of the day.

Woman in Toque: A doggy needs his munchies to start the morning strong. Even animals need breakfast to last the whole day long. A tiger has a T-bone. A horse will eat some hay.

Woman in Toque, Horse, and Tiger: It's the most important meal of the day.

Woman in Toque, Woman Without Toque, Boy, and Food: Of the day, of the day, of the day, of the day. It's the most important meal of the day. No other meal can beat it, so go ahead and eat it. It's the most important of the day. Of the day.
