Adventure Time: ‘Food Chain’

In this Adventure Time episode you can watch how on a field trip to the Candy Kingdom Museum of Natural History, Finn and Jake learn about the food chain by becoming the food chain! It’s hilarious!

The closing song and dance number is very cool! Do you want to sing? Here you have the lyrics:

Round and round as the nature flows
It’s like one big ring
Caterpillars eat plants

Small birds eat caterpillars
Big birds eat small birds
Bacteria eats the dead- big bird

From there plants grow
Again caterpillar eats the plant!

How natural, no waste
It is an endless chain
What an amazing, wonderful, and excellent!

How harsh, not careless
It’s an endless chain
What an amazing, wonderful, and excellent food… food chain!
