SHE AIN’T STARVIN’ HERSELF
--J. Wrabek
1.
See that little lady, ain’t she cute?
Takes care of her body like a prostitute—
That’s my baby—diets make her like that;
She ain’t starvin’ herself, just makin’ sure she never gets fat.
2.
The last time she visit, you shoulda seen:
Ripped all the food pitchers out of my magazines—
That’s my baby—diets make her like that;
She ain’t starvin’ herself, just makin’ sure she never gets fat.
3.
She say that she remember the first time we met;
I think that’s because it was the last time she et—
That’s my baby—diets make her like that;
She ain’t starvin’ herself, just makin’ sure she never gets fat.
4.
She got this magic powder she take ev’ry day,
Says it helps to keep the hunger cravings away
[SPOKEN] Just like the Energizer bunny, man--—diets make her like that;
She ain’t starvin’ herself, just makin’ sure she never gets fat.
5.
When she shrunk a couple sizes, you know what she do:
Gonna buy new clothes instead of buy food—
That’s my baby—diets make her like that;
She ain’t starvin’ herself, just makin’ sure she never gets fat.
6.
When she wasted off to nothin’, and they put her in her grave,
I’m makin’ her a tombstone, and it’s gonna say:
That’s my baby—diets made her like that;
She wasn’t starvin’ herself, she just made sure she never got fat.
She wasn’t starvin’ herself, she just made sure she never got fat.
