Lyr: diet song- think that I shall never see...

Subject: diet song
From: GUEST,gejawors@hotmail.com

I am looking for an old song/recorded spoken word recording of the desciption of a diet. I believe it started with "I think that I shall never see..." but I know it included rules like--eat 2 of the same color and the calories cancel each other out--broken cookies have no calories since they leak out---I know it's a long shot but any ideas??

Hiya... I've seen something like this quite a few times, but never as a song. Did a couple of Google searches: one for "diet song"; another for "broken cookies" refining it with a "search within" for "diet" and another "search within" for "calories", ending up with these 78 results.

The "broken cookies" search turns up a lot of "diet rules"/"rules for dieting" etc very similar to what I've seen before; I checked out a half-dozen or so of the links & found no songs, but – if you're willing to check all the links, it's possible you might find one in there.

The "diet song" search turned up a number of songs, but none of the ones I looked at were what you are looking for – though (again), if you have the patience to check out all the links, you might find something.

I do know of a great dieting song (a parody, actually) called "How Can I Keep from Eating?", but it's clearly not the one you're looking for.

Anyway, good luck!

HOW CAN I KEEP FROM EATING? in the DT. There are also a couple of versions in the thread Food Songs.
