Thanks, Nancy, I learned this from Deb O'Hanlon years ago.

HOW CAN I KEEP FROM EATING
words: Russell Aminzade & Sandy Pilskin (Sandy Pliskin ?)
tune: Trad

My life goes on in endless flow of breakfast, lunch and dinner
I eat them all with gusto though they will not make me thinner
For eating brings me so much joy, and joy in life is fleeting
So while there's food still on my plate, How can I keep from eating.

Some chicken soup with matzoh balls will bring me peace and pleasure
An eclair or some chocolate cake brings joy no tongue can measure
Some broccoli with hollandaise would set my heart to beating
It sounds a rumbling deep within. How can I keep from eating.

I'm getting rather plump these days; I think I'll take up running.
To lose a meager pound or two takes self control and cunning
I've tried a million kinds of diets; they're all so self-defeating
I open up the pantry door - How can I keep from eating.
