Sally Eats Shoelaces, Straw And String

Sally eats shoelaces, straw and string

But she won't eat cole slaw or anything

Her mother says is good for her, she says she's had enough

Her father says, "to eat"; she says she stuffed

Sally eats cardboard, sticks and rocks

but she won't eat cream cheese or bagel and lox

They fed her shredded wheat; her lips shut tight

She's as weird as her appetite

She'll suck her thumb, she'll chew on her hair

But no chicken cordon beau, no chocolate eclair

She doesn't care for pears, macaroni and cheese

Oh, she won't try pie, potatoes or peas

I'm telling you children don't be like that

It's no way to weigh less, better to be fat

She eats like a bird--no more like a goat

And nothing good goes down her throat
