Song Lyrics: |
I'm called Little Butterball, Dear Little Butterball, 'Though I could never tell why.
My calories mount. My cholesterol count Is as high as an elephant's eye.
They told me to diet. I promised I'd try it, Yet somehow my weight would not budge.
Each Metrecal cookie To me tasted ookie, So I covered it with hot fudge.
I ate watercresses, And other such messes, And pushed all my favorites aside.
I said to the caterers, "No more mashed potaterers, Just baked, and hash browned, and french fried."
I sing this sad song 'Cause my diet went wrong, 'Though I honestly tried to pay heed.
I don't care how high Is an elephant's eye, But an elephant's rear I don't need! (callminder) |
