歌名：Dinner bell

作者：hey might be giants

歌词：

I've been leaving on my things

So in the morning when the morning bird sings

There's still dinner on my dinner jacket till the dinner bell rings

Experimental dog (I-I re-re-heat-heat my-my soup-soup)

Salivating dog (give-give it-it a-a good-good look-look)

Good dog (and-and walk-walk a-a way)

Waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing (waiting for the dinner bell) Dinner bell, dinner bell, ring

I've been leaving on my things

So in the morning when the morning bird sings

There's still dinner on my dinner jacket till the dinner bell rings

I don't want a pizza, I don't want a piece of (experimental dog) Peanut brittle, I don't want a pear I don't want a bagel, I don't want a bean

I (salivating dog) wouldn't like a bag of beef or a beer or a cup of chowder, corn, cake, or creamed cauliflower

Cause I'm (good dog) waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing (waiting for the dinner bell) Dinner bell, dinner bell, ring

Shoulder, bicep, elbow, arm Forearm, thumb, wrist, knuckle, palm Middle, pinky, index, ring

Dinner bell, dinner bell, ding

I don't know whether I'd rather be having a bottle of vinegar (experimental dog)

I don't know whether I'd rather be having an egg

 I don't know whether I'd rather be having an order of bacon (salivating dog)

Or whether I'd rather be having a basket of garlic bread

I don't know whether I'd rather be having some pie

Or (good dog) saving my appetite

Cause I'm waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing (waiting for the dinner bell) Dinner bell, dinner bell, ring

歌词大意：

歌曲大意比较简单，围绕作词人晚饭前的心理活动，表现出内心的迫切和对晚餐的期待。从早上起来直到晚饭时间仍保留着前一晚的晚餐，列举了一些不想吃的食物和猜测自己晚餐想吃什么食物，一直期待着晚餐铃响起，下一顿晚餐的到来。

教学建议：

歌曲旋律节奏简单明快，适合老师讲授关于食物或吃饭的课堂开始时活跃课堂气氛，歌曲中的一些生词都附上中文翻译和图片帮助理解，生词大多关于食物和身体部位，可作为拓展，有助于学生了解外国的食物名称，身体部位主要是与用餐礼仪有关，老师可以课后运用这些生词给学生介绍。
