The Lyrics
*European herb used in medicine, cooking, and as a flavoring agent. I have no idea if it really contains lysine. The original was laden with alliteration, so. . . .
Melba this morning.
The margarined muffin must die.
No steak—he is stern!
Grasping a grapefruit,
He grabs spoon to spear it.
Juice runs, spritzing in his eye.
He spits a pip; he is feeling quite spry.
Wellnessly watching
His weight, so he winnows
The Wonder:
Empty calories, goodbye!
Heart's hearty, helping his health.
Fresh curries
Today are a good buy.
He won't shun Persian.
It's light as a feather,
In floral spice smothered.
Statins now standard.
The C substance's
Citrusy health food.
Lovage* has lysine—
Lies loose in a ladle, a little
Will light up his lunch.
Also, he'd like some lox.
Still, he loves Persian.
It's light as a feather,
No need to atone,
In floral spice smothered.
The margarined muffin must die.
No steak—he is stern!
Grasping a grapefruit,
He grabs spoon to spear it.
Juice runs, spritzing in his eye.
He spits a pip; he is feeling quite spry.
Wellnessly watching
His weight, so he winnows
The Wonder:
Empty calories, goodbye!
Heart's hearty, helping his health.
Fresh curries
Today are a good buy.
He won't shun Persian.
It's light as a feather,
In floral spice smothered.
Statins now standard.
The C substance's
Citrusy health food.
Lovage* has lysine—
Lies loose in a ladle, a little
Will light up his lunch.
Also, he'd like some lox.
Still, he loves Persian.
It's light as a feather,
No need to atone,
In floral spice smothered.

Tricky original song to parody well, but you pulled it off superbly, JB.
