About this song
Pick Pick Pick is a harvest song that actually teaches something true: apples twist, tomatoes pinch, and carrots pull. Each verse shows one real picking gesture, ends with a satisfying sound — pop! plop! whoosh! — and a "yummy yummy, delicious!" that little ones cannot resist repeating.
The fast finale recaps all three tricks in a row, so children finish the song having learned three real garden skills they can try with their grown-ups.
What it teaches: How fruit and vegetables are really picked, gestures, sounds.

Pick Pick Pick - Lyrics
Pick pick pick!
Do you want to see a trick?
This is how to pick… apples!
Twist twist twist
Give it a little twist
POP! Yummy yummy, delicious!
Pick pick pick!
Do you want to see a trick?
This is how to pick… tomatoes!
Pinch pinch pinch
Find the reddest one
PLOP! Yummy yummy, delicious!
Pick pick pick!
Do you want to see a trick?
This is how to pick… carrots!
Pull pull pull
Grip the leafy top
WHOOSH! Yummy yummy, delicious!
Apples — twist!
Tomatoes — pinch!
Carrots — pull!
That's the trick!
Yummy yummy, DELICIOUS!
