Jack Sprat

Lyrics

Jack Sprat could eat no fat,

His wife could eat no lean.

So guess who is the thinner one

With healthier cuisine

It's Jack of course, so slim and trim,

His wife is overweight.

In fact this lady couldn't remember
All the food she ate.

Now try to judge these eating habits,

That's not hard at all.

The Missus has a plate quite huge,

While Jack's is rather small.

Oh Jack Sprat, I'm proud of you,

I'd like to share your point of view.

And if my bad habits come to an end,

The scale could become my loving friend.

Oh Jack Sprat is right on course,

His wife still eats like a starving horse.

Perhaps she'll copy some of his ways....

Then she'll also enjoy some thinner days.
