Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
One Good Choice Market
Promise: Alice slows down to compare two snacks, Callen names the three-step rhythm while caring for Bentley, and Zylar offers the final choices and receives the thank-you.
The part everyone joins: “Look, ask, choose—three taps, then thank the hands that grew.”
Lyrics
Three-Tap Count-In
Callen: Look, ask, choose—tap one, two, three.
Alice: One good choice is enough for me.
At the table, apples gleam;
Pears sit bright beside the green.
Alice reaches, then pulls back:
“First I’ll look before I snack.”
Look, ask, choose—tap one, two, three.
What do I need? What fits for me?
Pick one kindly, leave some too.
Thank the hands that helped it grow.
Clap the rhythm, clear and true:
Look, ask, choose—and thank you!
At the cart, Zylar stands
With one apple in her hands.
One ripe pear rests in the tray.
Alice asks, “May I choose today?”
Callen holds small Bentley near:
“Look at both; the choice is clear.”
Alice points: “The pear for me.”
Zylar says, “Take it carefully.”
Look, ask, choose—tap one, two, three.
What do I need? What fits for me?
Pick one kindly, leave some too.
Thank the hands that helped it grow.
Clap the rhythm, clear and true:
Look, ask, choose—and thank you!
Growers tend and pick and pack.
Market helpers set things out.
One small choice can still be good;
Gratitude can name the work.
On the quilt, the pear rests whole.
Alice sets it by her bowl.
Zylar keeps the apple near.
Callen says, “Our choice is here.”
Alice sings, “Thank you for
Growing food and bringing more.”
Make-believe the leaves clap too—
Silver clouds hum, “Good choice, you!”
No real leaf or cloud can sing;
That is just their market ring.
Look, ask, choose—tap one, two, three.
One good pear is right for me.
Leave the apple for someone new.
Thank the hands that helped it grow.
Clap the rhythm, clear and true:
Look, ask, choose—and thank you!
