EATING WHAT YOU WANT
Sometimes you just feel like cooking fun things
Not a regular meal that true good health brings,
But gooey cakes and pies, rich puddings galore,
So that your tummy just has to have some more.

Apple pie and custard or cream, apple fritters too,
A roly poly pudding with rich caramel right through,
Puff pastry, light and fluffy and filled with real cream,
These things while on a diet are just a long sweet dream.

If we leave out dinner though, things won’t be too bad,
And if I eat a lot and then forget all the things I’ve had,
The calories will not count and the fat just fade away
And soon I’ll be so skinny you won’t know who I am.

Well, I’ll just have a small slice of lemon meringue pie,
The last for a long time, although I may wither and die,
But I can see that one thirty line on the bathroom scale,
I’ll go and put rouge on so I don’t look starved and pale.
