Verse 3 – Message to Mom
If you're a Mom here a message to you -
The food is so good, what we're going to do
And you put it on table is that not true
- So, am I right our insides is because of you
You told me to eat it, so I ate it all
And now people are saying my stomach
looks like a basketball
it's up to you to lean meat, more fruit,
less fat, less soda, more 100% juice
More vegetables, less fries and chips,
More fruits as snacks, more vegetable
sides to dig in
Slice some bananas in my oatmeal bowl -
And fruit kabobs taste yummy when their
frozen cold
Salad goes great with the evening meal
and it's even tastier when fruit is mixed in
My diet is basically controlled by you,
so I'm counting on you - to get me

Bridge
Yo I hate to be a downer, but you need
to know that - Diet and Physical Inactivity contributes to the death of
up to a half million people each year. That's why we should all get
regular exercise and eat a balanced healthy diet
Which includes all the necessary
nutrients from low fat dairy sources, grains, fruits and vegetables,
and lean meats, nuts and beans.
Be diet careful - Keep track of the
amount of fat, salt, sugar & discretionary calories you consume each
day. And remember get your rest my friends and try to drink eight to
ten glasses of water per day
