The Lyrics

Such a feeling's coming up on me.
I ate Wonder and I've got to set it free.
My fever is too high;
They look like sticks, my thighs.
I've reached the ne plus ultra of lean.

I am susceptible to TB
My disorder has plunged my immunity.
Even broth that is clear
Gives me bulimic fear.
You would think that I were only 17.

CHORUS 1:
She is gonna drop, this girl�must indulge in gustation
Seeks evacuation the rare times she dines.
Now I hear that gurgling sound�won't you please have some ground round?!
I recommend that you stop the hurl.

CHORUS 2:
She is gonna drop, this girl, without alimentation.
She has got regurgitation on her mind.
So her nourishment has wound�mostly up and rarely down.
So eat or you are gonna drop, girl!

People expel wind when they declaim.
The sensation when I hurl is much the same.
There's no fragments of peas, just an anorexic breeze�
A pleasing sense of vacuousness in me.

I have never got fish on my mind.
"Give us this day our daily bread?!" I've declined.
I'm as hollow as can be; Olsen's got nothing on me.
Soon will be time to pop the cap on a bier.

[Repeat choruses]

Well, I'm first with a comment, but I didn't give it those 1s - in fact 5s from me because some of the matching to the original was perfect - I can hear but can't imagine Karen siging this one

Awkward pacing in some spots, but the lyrics were thought-provoking and played on the original fairly well. 4-5-5.
