Ribena got his name, because he likes the drink
that tasty purple nectar, keeps him in the pink

he's really rather naughty because he drinks it all
so now he's quite a fatty bear when once he was quite small

He's such a little toerag,  and wont stay off the juice
But at least they've made it toothkind so his teeth won't all go loose

He spends the whole day guzzling with currants at his feet
and berries stain his face and bib he loves sweet things to eat  

and when hes sweetly dreaming its not of fish and honey
but a massive pile of blackcurrants all hiding in his tummy
