nes_,
_Potatoes_ and _Peas_,
And _Patriots_ who will
be glad to eat these.

Q is for _Quiet_,
we frequently need;
After Meals don't run
at the top of your speed.

R is for _Rest_
and _Round Rosy Faces_;
_Rest_ is a thing
which nothing replaces.

S is important
and therefore I hope
You'll pardon my specially
mentioning _Soap_.

T is a _Topic_
which _Trouble_ begins;
Both _Tea_ and Coffee
for Children are Sins.

U _Understanding_
the best way to live,
_United_ for Service
our Country to give.

V is for _Vegetables_;
if you're too slim,
These _Victuals_ are full
of _Vigor_ and _Vim_.

W is for _Water_,
the best thing to drink
Between Meals
as often as ever we think.

X is for _Xtras_
of Soup or of Milk
For a thin little Girl
till she's finer than Silk.

Y is for _You_,
and I tell you the Truth,
Learn to be Healthy
and Strong in your _Youth_.

Now march for it, Children,
with Drum and with Fife.
Z is the _Zest_
which Health gives to Life.
