All
Your sainted mother said to stay away from us
That she looked down on us is no surprise
Your father couldn't spend a day away from us
I still recall the hunger in his eyes
Donna
Your doctor and your dentist suggest that you
Ignore us
Paula
They abhor us
Genna
So they tell you slanderous lies
All
But don't listen to them
Listen to us
Genna
I'm sweets
Donna
I'm fats
Paula
I'm fries
All three
Say so long to self control
Paula
We've a need to feed your soul
Genna
How could we possibly hurt you
All three
We're in every snack and dessert you have had
Honest, sugar
Paula
We're too good to be bad
We're so lonesome on the shelf
Donna
Take us down,
Indulge yourself
All three
We'd like to show you our favors
Paula
And more than a few of the flavors you crave
Genna
Face it, pork rind-
All
You're too weal to behave
All three
Let your appetite run riot
Donna
You know you want us--don't deny it
All three
It's up to you to do or diet
Paula
And everything is better when you deep fat fry it
Life with us is short and sweet
All three
(we're) worth our weight in cellulite
Donna
Health food's for neurotics
Jenna
And macrobiotic's a fad
All three
The fda requires us to state this warning
The odds are great that you will hate yourself
In the morning
Paula
But eat your heart out
All three
We're too good to be bad
