The problem is all inside your fridge, she said to me  
The answer is easy if you ditch the Sara Lee  
I’d like to help you fit inside that skinny T  
There must be 50 ways to lose your blubber

She said it’s really not my habit to intrude  
Furthermore, I hope I won’t appear too blunt or rude  
But I’ll repeat myself, you need to eat less food  
There must be 50 ways to lose your blubber  
50 ways, you hopeless chubber

So don’t give me that bull, Bill  
There’s nothing wrong with your glands, Hans  
You just eat to much grease, Rhys  
You’ll get a coronary…

_Ooo slip out the back, Jack  
Make a new plan, Stan  
You don’t need to be coy, Roy  
Just listen to me  
Hop on the bus, Gus  
You don’t need to discuss much  
Just drop off the key, Lee  
And get yourself free_

(You’ve changed your name, each and every time after being dumped - over-and-over again. All this running around, back-and-forth from cafe to courthouse. Your nerves are shot, you’re a wreck. And skinny as a rail by now.)

Just trim off the fat, Pat  
Before you grill that steak, Jake  
Add a side that’s green, Jean  
Just listen to me

Don’t eat that dessert, Kurt  
Take a smaller serving, Irving  
Put less on your plate, Kate  
And get yourself free
