Do not feed doughnuts to your obese children | |
You will regret it when they're in their teens | |
Maccas might shut them up now that they're seven | |
But they won't forgive you when | |
They're getting picked last for PE | |
Don't you see? | |
Boombalata motherfucker | |
Have you noticed that yo kids are fat? | |
What are you going to do about that? | |
What are you going to do? | |
So you telling me that your family | |
Has a history of obesity | |
You got a wire loose in your pituitary | |
It's just the way that God made me | |
It's unlikely, statistically | |
To be a physical thing | |
But either way it don't explain why you | |
Are in the queue at Burger King | |
You can blame it on biology | |
You can blame your physiology | |
You can point to genealogy | |
And your social anthropology | |
You can say you are an ectomorph | |
That you just can't get the kilos orf | |
Well you can be what you wanna be | |
But stop feeding that boy KFC | |
He weighs 30 kilos and he's only three | |
He looks like a clean-shaven Pavarotti | |
Switching to Diet Coke is not the way back | |
Boombalata motherfucker | |
Your kid's a fat, have you noticed that? | |
Your 5 year old princess in her size 14 tutu | |
Only eats pizza like that because you do | |
And you, you should feel ashamed | |
For you have only got yourself to blame | |
Will be dead of a heart attack | |
Before your grandchildren are ten | |
Perhaps you'll consider | |
A cut-back on extra fries then | |
Boombalata kiddie-stuffer | |
Have you noticed that your kids are fat? | |
What are you gonna do about that? | |
What are you gonna do? | |
So you're telling me that your family | |
Has a history of obesity | |
You got the polycystic ovaries | |
Your mum had childhood diabetes | |
But – and in your case | |
There's a fucking big butt | |
Do you think it's an appropriate treat | |
The all-you-can-eat at Pizza Hut? | |
There's no excuse you silly goose | |
For a child with a caboose | |
Like a moose who's eaten too much mousse | |
It's tantamount to child abuse | |
Kick them off the fucking couch | |
Unplug the Playstation | |
Send them down to the park | |
If they don't wanna go, make 'em | |
Tell them they have to jog | |
Until their jogging shorts fit 'em | |
If they hesitate, ask firmly | |
If they still resist, hit 'em | |
Is this what you want for your girl and your guy? | |
These chips off the pork chop, for the toffee apples of your eye? | |
Kit Kats in value packs are not the way back | |
Boombalata Motherfucker | |
Your kids are fat, did you notice that? | |
And you, you should feel ashamed | |
For you have only got yourself to blame | |
Your 6 year old miniature Jabba the Hut | |
Eating half melted Mars Bars from the folds of his gut | |
He'll be looking for a kidney | |
Before your grandchildren are ten | |
Perhaps you'll consider | |
A cut-back on Taco Bell then | |
Perhaps you'll consider | |
A cut-back on Krispy Kreme doughnuts | |
And Popcorn in bucket-sized boxes | |
And microwave pizza or drive through McDonalds | |
For weeknightly dinners in front of the TV | |
And notes to the phys-ed instructor saying | |
Timmy has asthma but he really just gets short of breath | |
Cos he's 35 kilos above the ideal weight | |
Of 35 kilos for a nine year old boy |
Do not feed doughnuts to your obese children | |
You will regret it when they' re in their teens | |
Maccas might shut them up now that they' re seven | |
But they won' t forgive you when | |
They' re getting picked last for PE | |
Don' t you see? | |
