I weigh in the bathroom—see my, see my weight!
Weigh in the bathroom—see my, see my weight!
Weigh in the bath—see my, see my weight!
Yeah, mama, see my, see my weight!
Yeah, mama, see my, see my weight!

Weigh in the bathroom—see my, see my weight!
Weigh in the bathroom—see my, see my weight!
Weigh in the bath—see my, see my weight!
Yeah, mama, see my, see my weight!
Yeah, mama, see my, see my weight!

Weightless, weightless!
Anorexia has doomed my frame.
Weightless, weightless!
Anorexia has doomed my frame.
And I am weightless, I am weightless!
My anorexia has doomed my frame.
And I am weightless, weightless!
My anorexia has doomed my frame.

See your food, see your food.
I’m not hungry, mama, see your food.
See your food, see your food.
I’m not hungry, mama, see your food.
See your food, see your food.
I’m not hungry, Mom, don’t need your food.
See your food, see your food.
I’m not hungry, Mom, don’t need your food.

Doo doo, doo doo doo doo.
Oh, you can’t tell me what to do do do!
Doo doo, doo doo doo doo.
Oh, you can’t tell me what to do do do!

Heaving destroyed my health.
Karen Carpenter, she could be me.
Heaving destroyed my health.
Karen dead, someday it could be me.

And I am fatless, fatless!
Too, bulimia has ruined my frame.
Fatless, fatless!
Too, bulimia has ruined my frame.
Fatless, fatless!
Too, bulimia has ruined my frame.

Some nights I would upchuck, upchuck, upchuck!
To food I’d say hell no, hell no, hell no!
Some days I would upchuck, upchuck, upchuck!
Someday I might die, die, die!
Some nights I would upchuck, upchuck, upchuck!
To food I’d say hell no, hell no, hell no!
Some days I would upchuck, upchuck, upchuck!
Someday I might die, die, die!
Some nights I would upchuck, upchuck, upchuck!

Heed your mama! (Upchuck! Upchuck! Upchuck!)
Heed your mama!
Yes, I’m all alone in this.
(Upchuck! Upchuck! Upchuck!)
Heed your mama! (Upchuck! Upchuck! Upchuck!)
Heed your mama!
Yes, I know I’m acting wrong.
Heed your mama!
Yes, I know I can’t get along.
Heed your mama!
Yes, I know I’m acting wrong.

Upchuck! Upchuck! Upchuck!

Some nights I would upchuck, upchuck, upchuck!
To food I’d say hell no, hell no, hell no!
Some days I would upchuck, upchuck, upchuck!
Someday I might die, die, die!
Some nights I would upchuck, upchuck, upchuck!
To food I’d say hell no, hell no, hell no!
Some days I would upchuck, upchuck, upchuck!
Someday I might die, die, die!

Cool it, Mommy.
Cool it, Mom, cool it, Mommy, says me.
See, I’m so thin!
Step back, now, because I’m gonna faint.
Oh, sh**!

I have said before that quality does not always depend on how funny it is but at times on songs that are heartfelt and may hit home with some people. You may know me as a runner who writes songs about running. I call my group the poetic runners even though I don't really have a group although I wish I did. This song can teach people while it is good to want to be healthy and in shape it is equally dangerous to get so thin to the point of starvation and death. This goes for not only people who starve, eat and purge but also for people who eat and exercise way beyond normal extremes. A great lesson can be learned from this song.
