It’s the most important of the day
eat the fruit of the hens that lay
start with OJ, take a swig
how about the belly of a pig

Salted, smoked and sugar cured
pancakes with maple syrup poured
how about sausage seasoned with sage
it gets better with some age

Fried potatoes would be just fine
start the day great rise and shine
biscuits and gravy keeps you full
how about some apple juice, take a pull

Oatmeal, cream of wheat, malt-o-meal
the price is right what a steal
with butter and cinnamon what a treat
eggs benedict, you cannot beat

A loaded omelet is the best
especially with salsa from south west
tacos or burritos filled with the kitchen sink
wash it down with coffee to drink

Soup for breakfast, menudo's the one
top with Cilantro, will sell a ton
toast with Jelly, by the gram
so many flavors to choose of jam

Texas shaped waffles in the dawn
that’s one way to stifle a big yawn
up and at-em, was told by dad
was asleep, but won’t be sad

Cause its breakfast time
