The Lyrics
You've got to fling that frying pan,
Because fried food's bad for the heart.
I'll be starting to eat oat bran,
So let's load up the shopping cart.
Man lives not on oat bran alone;
Oats aren't enough to make you strong.
No muffins—bagels in the morning, baby.
I won't touch grease, so release me from gravy.
No muffins—bagels in the morning, baby,
I spurn all but low-fat cream cheese.
The calorie count will be slim;
I won't get any fatter now.
And the milk I drink must be skim,
Extracted from organic cows.
Of chitlins I won't take a bite
Keep pig intestines from my sight!
No muffins—bagels in the morning, baby.
I won't touch grease, so release me from gravy
No muffins—bagels in the morning, baby,
I guess I won't spurn whey,
But I beg you—no full-fat cheese.
Just lite beer I drink today,
Through my tears.
It's not tasty!
No muffins—bagels in the morning, baby.
It puffed my cheeks when I scored fat and gravy.
Because fried food's bad for the heart.
I'll be starting to eat oat bran,
So let's load up the shopping cart.
Man lives not on oat bran alone;
Oats aren't enough to make you strong.
No muffins—bagels in the morning, baby.
I won't touch grease, so release me from gravy.
No muffins—bagels in the morning, baby,
I spurn all but low-fat cream cheese.
The calorie count will be slim;
I won't get any fatter now.
And the milk I drink must be skim,
Extracted from organic cows.
Of chitlins I won't take a bite
Keep pig intestines from my sight!
No muffins—bagels in the morning, baby.
I won't touch grease, so release me from gravy
No muffins—bagels in the morning, baby,
I guess I won't spurn whey,
But I beg you—no full-fat cheese.
Just lite beer I drink today,
Through my tears.
It's not tasty!
No muffins—bagels in the morning, baby.
It puffed my cheeks when I scored fat and gravy.

This is a great food parody...love it!....healthy fives.
What AFW said. 555's, less filling!
Thanks, fellow foodists.
i prefer pop tarts but i dig your parody...5s
This was great to have with my morning coffee. The title alone made me LOL.
5's. Extra fives for using the highly superior Merilee version over the overhyped Juice Newton "stick finger down my throat" version. Pippin get's off soapbox now! Godd one JB.
