The Lyrics

I'm glad that people liked the first one. I hope this one works, because it was the only one I could think of off the top of my head. If the first one's better, hopefully I can improve in the future.
Do you have the time to listen to me dine,
On everything that I can find all at once?
I am one of those huge gastronomic fools
Lethargic to the bone, no doubt about it.
Sometimes I fill myself with crepes.
Sometimes, my weight gets thick on me.
It all keeps adding up.
I feel like throwing up.
And I’m just lazy now,
Filled to the bone.

Waistline needs to shrink,
It’s harder than it seems
It’s lack of exercise that’s bringing me down.
I went back for more
But something was in store
A sudden heart attack was pinning me down.
I overdid it on the Peeps
Twix candy bars brought me great glee
My weight kept adding up
And I kept puffing up.
I’m almost dying now,
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Struggling for control
Weight loss needs to go on

And now my weight loss grows in leaps
I’ve lost ten pounds now, don’t you see?
It will keep adding up.
I will keep bulking up
And now I’m quite annoyed
With ice cream cones.

Excellent! Reminds me of a song I made up one time "I'm a foodie and a drinkie and a drunk" This was far better than that however and really well written
