• The Food Blues

I was sitting in Rosie's Restaurant
When the waiter came up and said what do you want
I looked at the menu and it looked so nice
Till he said let me give you some advice.

spaghetti and potatoes got too much starch
Pork chops are gravy are bad for your heart
There's hormones in chicken and beef and veal
ravioli is a dead man's meal.

Bread got preservatives there's nitrites in ham
Artificial coloring in jellies and jam
Stay away from donuts run away from pie
Pepperoni pizza is a sure way to die.

Sugar rots your teeth and makes you put on weight
artificial sweetener's got cyclamates
Eggs got cholesterol, there's fat in cheese
Coffee ruins your kidneys and so does tea.

Fish got mercury, red meat is poison
Salt's gonna send your blood pressure risin'
Hot dogs and salami got deadly red dyes
Vegetables and fruits are sprayed with pesticides.

So what can I eat that's gonna make me last
He said a small drink of water in a tiny wee glass
And then he stopped and he thought for a minute
never mind the water, there's carcinogenics in it.

So I got up from the table and walked out in the street
Realizin' there was nothin' I could eat
I ain't eaten for a month and I'm feeling fine
'Cause he did not mention beer, whiskey and red red wine...
